Also as an update I installed the drop shackles and it looks much better, but still not 100% level.

A set of Moog 844 coil springs will raise the front about 1-2" and make it perfectly level

They may have better products now.....I don't know.

Cast aluminum? Never known them to be made of alum. DJM Beams on mine with no problems.

I've been looking at these, I want a deep dish but I would like to tuck the wheel/tire inside the wheel wells, I'd like to drop it level sometime this year
