Front: 3" dropped axel from Sid's + 2-3/4" lowering spring = 5-3/4" Rear: extended rear hanger, flip front hanger, and lower springs = 5"
We simply need more pictures of these. LOL I'm torn like an old sweater. I do have 16" wheels and I have the 1950's later 15" that have inner nubs so I can run original caps.
No I have Posies lowered springs front and rear. Also have a 9 inch rear which raises the back up over a stock rear.
The 9 inch axle housing is fatter than the original dana so you lose some of your lowering efforts by going with the 9 inch.

I would think 70's series tires would be an arm work out. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I am using an F4-F6 steering box. My thinking was to try and reduce steering effort without going to power steering. I don't really know if the steering effort is better without being able to jump from a stock truck to this setup but I am fine with it. Installed the Toyota PS box in my 52 panel and love it. If I do it again I would like 75 series for filling the fender hole not necessarily for changing steering effort. Hard to find blackwall tires in the size you want without all the **** on the sidewall.
I've heard these wider bias ply tires ride much better than 6.00-16, 6.50's. Not radial ride but not groove in the road finder .Can you or anyone verify this? Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
