Hey Jestr,
Good to see another '50 on here! We also have the No Limit IFS - that will lower it around 3 inches with the standard spindles. I don't really know what to think of that front bumper - It's cool but looks lethal to something - not sure what. 302 /c4 sounds like a good combination.
Keep posting & do something every week to keep up your momentum.

Ben I was hoping to get more than a 3" drop. I asked about the drop spindles but No Limit said it would be too low. They did say they would exchange the spindles if I wasn't happy with the ride height once everything was back together....I guess we will se

Hi Jestr,
Here is a pic of our '50 just at the tail end of the restoration to give you an idea of the stance. It's not in the weeds but lower than stock - also depends on your wheels/tires etc..
Good luck over there.
