Lowering it would be ok, but it looks pretty wicked so far the way it sits.

little update on my truck, got most of the body work done on the cab, the only mod i made was eliminating the gas filler, i dropped the cab and damaged that corner anyway, patch panel from lmc covered it nicely, front cab drivers outer post all repaired, the dash was really hacked by the previous owner trying to install a radio, cut it out as straight as possible and patched up the hole, i filled all the holes for choke, lights ect, filled up all the holes in the firewall, mounted the master cylinder and booster, steering assy off the crown vic, installed the engine to check for fitment, the only thing i had to do is crease the wall on the drivers side for a bit more clearance, got my air bags in, got a deal at airbaggit.com for $115.00 for all 4!! the only thing i didn`t take account for is that there pretty big in diameter, they were hitting the side of the frame and didn`t have too mutch tire clearance so cut off the brackets and re-made some different ones and relocated them between the frames, also decided while i`m there i might as well c-notch the frame! pics in my gallery, thats about it! waiting for my fenders to finish the front end and will probably try and get the cab in primer this weekend!!

looks nice.
do you have ay plans to run a panhard bar? on your parallel 4link it looks like your using bushings, they still have some side to side axle movement; but not as much as a heim
