    4169A4F5-33B0-4F8A-9CA2-095F72EEAB10.jpeg Any photos of the rear sway bar installed? With the TCI flip kit, rear mounted fuel tank and full 2.5” exhaust on my truck, there’s not a lot of real estate left to work with.

    The static drop is a mix and match of Nova front sub and TCI rear flip kit. The ride quality is really nice, especially after a recent upgrade to KYB monotube shocks.

    Would love to know what you did to your truck to get that stance! The tire size is perfect as well…awesome.

    Anyone have other mods ? I am looking at lowering it. It appears stock except front springs have missing leaves.

    Man, that is a perfect stance! Thanks for sharing it!
    It really makes the seller’s remorse return for my ‘56.
