Muffler scrapes the ground in regular turns. I'm going tomorrow morning to have my header and the correct exhaust installed.

I have no idea how much lower it is from stock.

But front is 1" drop coils with a full coil cut. Then the rear is stock leaf springs with 2" drop blocks.

I measured the front and the frame rail is 4" off the ground. I haven't driven it to find out how it handles yet because it is straight header.

I'd love to have air bags, but the kit is around $4,000.

What happens if you have to go over a speed bump? You could end up getting stuck! lol

Nope and I got the exhaust ran yesterday so I'm just going to go with it. Have to take my header back off today and drill a couple stud holes bigger since they won't thread, causing a massive leak. I'm also about half way done installing my A/C.

I had most of the A/C installed last week, but since they had a mess up I've been waiting since last Wednesday to get the correct parts in.

I also have everything but mounting brackets for perform my disc brake swap for the front end. The whole swap is going to cost me around $360 which is pretty good compared to the other kits out there.

Yeah, that's a good price for a disc brake conversion.

Good to have those!

I just ordered a custom cross radiator for mine. Should be here in a couple of weeks.

Yeah thanks!

A friend has a similar setup in his 56 Chevy that keeps his engine cool not matter how hot it gets. I hope mine works as well.
