He did a crown vic swap up front and IIRC a shackle flip in the back. He has a build thread on here, I'll post up a link in a little bit.

But it rides and corners just fine though...

What size tires are you running? They look great!

Thanks!

76 f100




heres mine guys, pulled it out of someones yard, kept it very budget, have $3800 canadian into the truck as a whole, including an engine build, and $900 djm lowering kit.

not happy with the stance, i want to cut a bit off the coils, and i will reorder the rear shackles as i used the lower hole and cut off the upper hole on theose to clear that rear quarter panel support rod.

Id also like to level it a bit and remove a leaf, currently has 5 curved and pinned together thin leafs, and one very thick leaf at the bottom which isnt doing much unloaded. Unsure of which to remove...

Truck looks good but I would have done the flip kit out back. And I cut 2 coils off the front of mine and the chamber isn't too bad.

ya i didnt want to go too low, still want the ability to tow and haul, wanted the shop truck vibe. And for the flup kit did you have to c notch as well? For mine that would have cut into the bed and wasnt about to go there.

have a 91 caprice wagon that is my lowrider! That thing is a pain to driv over bumps and into parking lots so didnt want that.

My truck isn't notched at the moment but I have one for it. They don't cut into the bed though unless you do the large c notch.

Absolutely agree, that looks sharp. Also wondering what your drop is? Looks like theres some camber there in the one angle... i just cut a coil off mine as the rear was sitting a touch lower than the front, hoping its better now, ill post a pic when i roll it out next weekend.
