thanks man, these r just for winter (gotta love craigslist) 15x8 with 195/55 snows. ill try finding a pic of last summer. i want to go lower n buy new wheels but with drop arms im limited in options. spindles would put the spring mounts on the ground :/ i dont really have much suspension travel as it is. was thinking of cutting notches for the control arms?? the back is easy w/a notch n bigger blocks. right now its 4inch drop leafs n "2" inch blocks. i think their smaller tho/

What suspension setup do you have in the front? My buddy has an s-10 with drop spindles and cut springs and hes tucking tire and in the rear your bumpstop mounts may be bottomed out on your springs, same buddy had that problem with 4 inch blocks and 3 inch springs. it looks like a great start tho, and I love the winter wheels for some reason, old school. Belvader the ranger looks good as always, you should throw some spacers in there, but that's just my opinion.

that ranger is insanely low! lets see some wheels on there this spring.
hmm looks like the same arms as me, do you know the brand? i was thinking of just picking up some stock lowers to run spindles and springs. how much travel do u have? im not looking for or expecting a plush ride but sitting on bumps gets old fast. the rear rides very good, i cut the bump brackets off and rarely bottom out.ill will throw 3inch blocks in there. maybe 4 after the notch is put in. the strange thing is the winter wheels r growing on me too lol. i would really like to throw a set of diamond racing 16x10's on there and have little to no gap.
red-do you u think you could snap some pics of ur control arm clearance to the stops? im really liking how ur truck sits.
winter is taking too long!

Thanks Belvader. It's a little lower in the front since I put some thinner stops on it. Back springs are belltechs. Not real impressed by them. A little soft for my tastes. I could probably block them a little more and get it lower but I just use it when I need a truck, lately. I used to do a lot of 1st gen rx7s which is why I always wanted a pre-ford B. I plan on building a bridge-port 13b for her. I was caught by the Audi 5 cylinder turbo bug a little over a year ago. Looking for rims is what brought me here.
