New Stance

Finally about done with the suspension. Reverse eye mains and four leafs on all four corners. 3" drop axle w/c-notch rear. Had to split the rear fenders and add 1.5" inches to getem over the tires. Added 39 Ford LED tail lights, can't see the tail lights very well in this pic but added some more pics in my KMC Wheels gallery at the bottom,man are they bright. Excuse the rough fenders in the photos ready to start on the finish body work and paint in the next month or two.

Looks good. Good work on the fenders, too. I am also a fan of the '39 tear drops, I have them in my rear roll pan. I like where you put yours in the fenders. Keep us posted with final paint

For some reason that truck looks really familiar? It definitely looks sharp. I really like those 1.5 inch fenders too.
