Got it Level (W/Pics)
Ok so I got the F250 springs on and its level again.
The springs ended up lifting the rear up another 3" exactly. Im pretty happy with the way it turned out and they only took 1.5 hrs to swap out. After driving it with the f250 springs I will say the ride is much better. Less sway and give so it rides a lot smoother and not a drop rougher.
My truck now measures 30" from the ground to the bottom of the door. Not too bad but would like it to be up another 3-6" someday however.
The 1st is after the 2" lift up front and before the f250 springs.
The 2nd is the final product.
The 3rd is for fun.

Lol never fear guys I have an appointment to get the alignment done next Wednesday. Those coil spacers wacked the front end out. The camber is way off, but the rear springs did help it a little. Cracked me up that of all things thats what u fellow truck nuts noticed was how bad my tires are leaning out....or in for that matter.
The truck doesnt fit in the attached garage (pic 2) anymore so from now on will have to park in the machine shed (all the other pics). The top of the cab it just an 1/8" under 7' now so I have to be conscious of what I drive under.
Flareside: you aint lying thats some super crazy adhesive. Once its stuck its permanent and not going anywhere...even at 110 mph.

its a '79 all original. The only things that have been changed are tires, battery, and glass packs cut in. Lil Bird only has 7,700 miles on it (no typo). However it does have the Olds 400 in it from the factory so its not nearly as zesty as it should be if it had the Pontiac 400. But a fun car overall.
