dropping a 56

hi guys , not real sure about setting up a gallery as i have never done it before so i gave it a go, currently i am throwing a 56 back together to get rid of it so i have room to move
the suspension is series 2 XJ6, IRS/IFS, set with 5deg decline on the front arms with the rear set to a level height, this should give those thinking of lowering one using something different an idea of the finnished ride height. u may also notice the running boards are at different heights, the passenger side ( LH )is about 1 1/2" higher, giving much needed room in the guts for gutters and such. any thoughts?
