Thanks for the compliments on my Truck and Shop!  The truck is a nice, solid, original w/ 83k miles.  Original paint and interior!  It was some geezer's golf bag hauler, I believe.

It is definitely lowered.  It's got tall tires on it.  It's gonna be lower, however. 

I removed the front spindles and springs yesterday.  Now I'm removing the rear bump stops.  This way, I'll be ready to roll when my parts come in. 

I can't wait to see how it drives.  It's never driven worth a spit since I've had it but I didn't know enough to know what had been done to it.  Thanks to this forum and its members, I've learned a lot!

Parts arrived today.  I installed a front spring and spindle tonight just to make sure everything works.  I had to get out my side grinder and work on the DJM spindle a little toj get it to clear my 15" Rallye Wheels.  Also, I had to work on the bend in the brake hose to get the angles right to fit this spindle.  Luckily, I had planned to replace the hoses anyway, so I was working with new, clean ones.  I'll get the other side done tomorrow night.

Then, I'll replace the rear springs and put the flip kit in.  With a little luck, I'll be driving this weekend, assuming I can get it reasonable aligned using my old string and jack stands method.
