Note this picture was taken with wheels not yet mounted so it looks kind of ugly, but I'll be sure to post more when they're on the truck. The wheels are Raceline Statics 22x10 (Rear) & 22x8.5 (Front). I have nor the smarts, time or patience for a job like so a BIG SHOT OUT goes to my buddy (stockr) who has a few pics of his work on this thread pg.# 48.

I've only had the truck for 3 months, but I've been waiting to post in this thread for two years. Finally got the suspension lined out. lowering Beams up front, and hanger/shackle kit in the rear.

Here's some pics of my truck. It was already lowered when I bought it a year ago. I did spray it flat black so it was all one color.

Hey 'Bick'

Looks good!
Give us some details on how it was lowered etc and tire size. Looks like those are the '80s factory steel spoke wheel??

It has the DJM beams and shackles. The wheels are from a mid 80s f150. They were actually on a 68 f100 I bought for parts. I also bought a 73 for disc brakes and the wider rearend. Here is a link to my flickr photstream that has pics of what I've done so far.

i changed the bag setup like 2-3 times (preference)
in front i ended using a cup to fit under the spring perch (similar to chevy setups)
rear stayed pretty much the same except for upper brackets

Looks good, I didnt think the CV front end could get that low without a z-cut. I'm guessing the crossmember lays on the ground air'd all the way out?
