Re: couldnt wait.....
Looks good VA TLC! I can’t stand the rear end sitting higher than the front either. After installing my ORD shackle flip and installing a new set of Superlift 6” springs my rear end was poking up in the air too high as well. Mainly, because I had the rear springs reworked years ago to level out my 4” lift with only using a small 1” lift block instead of a 4” block. I ended up removing one spring from each leaf pack to level it out.
Where is the front sway bar? Didn’t ‘72’s come with them? That truck has to lean like the tower of pisa into the curves. Mine did on the initial test drive with the sway bar disconnected after the 6” spring install and while the ORD sway bar disconnects were on order. I know not all 2wd’s had sway bars but I though the 4x4’s did. I think I also saw a picture of your truck with the tires off somewhere…..front drum brakes right? That isn’t the norm for a ’72 either.
