This pic was taken this summer right after I finished. It has different wheels on it now. Me & my boy did the install right where it sits.

The TVS drastically improved handling but it rides like a school bus. I opted to go with Doetsch Tech drop shocks instead of the Bilstein's becase they were all my budget could stand at the time. Hopefully this summer I'll get a set of the Bilstein's or maybe some Edelbrocks.

Here's a before pic...

I believe they advertise it as a 2/3 kit, but the rear is adjustable to a little over 4". They put four spacers between the spring and axle that you can remove. Each piece you remove raises the rear a little over 1/4 inch.

If you look hard at the top pic you'll see that the back sits lower than the front. The next weekend I removed the four spacers and it leveled it out perfectly.

Hmmm, maybe I shoulda lowered the front some more.....
