Is the engine installed in that pic?  The rear looks low already.

I really like the pulley system on the engine.  That has to make it easier to work on/change belts. I need to replace the A/C drive belt on mine and suddenly realized that I need to remove all the belts to do so.  Once I dig into it and get the belts off I am going to replace the water pump. It makes a little noise.

The motor being out could be throwing it off but the rear looks dropped some now.  It looks like about a 4" drop.  Does it appear stock?

Yes it's all stock , just the angle of pic makes it look low. I'm wanting to just get a 4/6 kit hoping I can find one in $500 range

Stock iron heads on stock or near stock motor - AC R44TS or R43CTS.

CPP has a spindle and shackle drop package. Not sure how much you've done with the suspension already, but for a full suspension package and lowering it, under $1000 is pretty good.

I will be starting on lowering it soon, wanting a 4/6 drop kit, looking at belltech for the whole kit around $800ish.. What's the best website to order it from? eBay? Thanks
