Low as possible ideally.
That was my goal. I may still clearance some stuff and try to drop it and inch or so.
I like where yours sits.
Yeah it should settle out to a good height. Don't really want it to be a show statement either.
You'll have to let me know how it rides. I might be pulling one of my leafs to get a better ride and overall height.
Will do. I was thinking I might have to add a leaf. But time will tell I guess.
My springs looked like yours when I had the 3 leaf setup, but I also have a heavy 6.5 in mine.
Yeah I remember reading that part of your thread vaguely.
Whipped up up a crossmember tonight. Used some 1" dom w/.5" hole for a bushing and welded the tube to that. Should work just fine I think.
Got that crossmember painted and bolted in. Knocked the old crossmember out and cleaned the frame up, left the old sway bar mounts just in case a guy can use them for something down the road.
Swapped the pitman arm on for the crossover, removing that crossmember sure made it easy compared to last time I changed it
Gonna have to re run the passenger side brake line behind the crossmember yet.....or maybe just zip tie it up and call it a day

The more I look at it, the more I like how clean it looks now. Would have taken more time to plate the areas I notched than it did to go the way I did.
Got the springs bolted in, diff back in place. Crossover looks like she will work. Slowly starting to look like something!
Springs look nice and flat 
Didn't get a whole lot done. Re routed the passenger side hard line, straightened out the factory brake line mounts and glued them on.
Diff is bolted in, roughly cantered the steering wheel. Should be on its own wheels sometime this week again.

The rear end will be a snap!
We rollin 
, I'm sure the whole town enjoyed my open headers....screw em. Lol
It's sitting roughly 6" higher than the back, still clears a 7' garage door.
Went for a spin around the block and a small highway cruise. It steers, brakes and rides better than before, so that's a plus!
Need to get it measured for shocks yet. Prob wait till I get the rear end swapped in till I do that.

Looks really good guy!
The tires are tucked in nicely. The ride height looks good too. Nice work!
