Down forward springs

I need level my truck but would like a little more drop maybe 1”

There is very little arch in them with weight on them. Get Sid to drop your axle up to 3" if you want more drop. I hope your body work skills are up to lowering the arches, plus it's going to make the fenders look even more massive than they already are IMHO. I suggest you photoshop or cut and paste a picture (or even tape cardboard to your fender and live with it for a few days. before you start cutting metal.

As a panel owner, I have to agree with AX. I can't imagine adding 2 inches to the wheel openings. There has to be a better way to get the look you are after.
AX, I could be wrong, but I don't believe I ever saw a picture of Gracie before. She seems to have been in really good condition when you brought her home. As you know, most panel trucks (other models too for that matter) are pretty rusted out at the start of a restoration project. Gracie's doors seem to fit well too. Even the door handle isn't sagging.
