Finally got the front end aligned after a full rebuild. Raised it 2.5” with a SkyJacker add a leaf and new stock front springs, shackles upgraded and shock mounts and new shocks all the way around. SkyJacker Black max shocks. Used the axle drop from Tuff Country to get it back in to camber. Pretty good product. Replaced the axle pivot bushings while I was in there also with energy ones. Sure it will settle some but very, very happy how it turned out. Also scored a push bar and installed it today along with fixing the way the bumper was shimmed. Still have to wire the lights. Love these old Fords!

Great to see Daylighters with covers instead of a cheesy light bar.
