Looks good!!! I'm just getting started but am interested in the down and front springs with a 5" drop... and then add the 3" drop axle if it still needs it...

It looks like it has a lot of negative camber, does it?

Will any 3 inch drop give me that look? I'm looking at dropping mine with a set of springs from mid fifty. Will that alter the stance compared to using just the dropped axle?

If you order the springs it will not be a 3" drop (springs 1 1/2"-2"), also make sure if you get the down & forward springs from MF you will also need an extended drag link tube. Dave Mann at Raodsters.com has 4" dropped original axles I got a 3" drop from him and it fitted great I now wish I would have gone with the 4" drop instead. I had the CCP axle at first but the camber was off & when it was corrected the axle was bend in the middle.
