    No lowering blocks, but if I drop tire size i will have too. Thanks for the compliment Randy, I still have some redo work ahead of me, but in seven months I `ll retire and have the time. ( rear valance at the trunk corners and upper corners of the trunk stress cracks from the old transverse spring).

    I used to have 235/70/15's on the back of mine. This was with a 1" lowering block with the previous crappy parallel spring setup I had....

    I don't think I have a complete side shot anymore. I lost a bunch of pics when my hard drive crashed 2 years ago. I took this pics for CL cause I sold these wheels. Here's a pic of the left front. You can see where the paint was getting funky...

    I`m running a weedeater axle from magnum axle 5.5 drop, with reversed sping eyes, I may add one more leaf tho, but haven`t committed to it yet, I `ve been noting all your improvements on the 9`inch, i have a`69 bronco housing at 58 inches, I located one `69 lincoln 31 spline right side axle for it, length is right for the left side bronco, now I just have to buy one axle for the right side, and looking for 300 or 310 posi third member and discs for it, its just fun doing the cheap.... But I do like your cobra setup....
