I lowered it by taking the second long spring out in the front, And in the back I flipped the smallest bottom spring and put it on the top of the stack, Pinched it together and it pushes the rest down and it dropped it about 1-1/2 inches all around. tires are 215 14'S. I will post some pics with my hardware back on. Parade is today.

Did you guys notice my steering tube...I was gonna sand it for paint and said to hell with it and just kept sanding till I got to 1000 grit and it was polished. Added some metal polish and sealer and wa la !!!! looks like chrome and so far has not even as much as got a rust pit. just add sealer once in awhile. Again thanks to many helpful threads that I learned lots of useful info. Thanks again guysl

I dig it ! That satin finish over black looks good.Also the orangeish stripe breaks off colors well,nice accent.Oh,the fan shroud license plate brings good cha-ching if you have both.
