Ok.. Time for a suspension update.. I had recieved my upper control arm and 2" drop spindles, these were guesses, but they appear they may work.. I still have to order the lower tubular control arm, but for now, this should help me get things dialed in.. I am hoping to be able to set the car back on the ground and get it at the ride hieght I am seeking..

By measuring tape, it appears I will be about a 5" rocker to ground clearance at this suspension setting.. The factory wheel and tire is the same diameter overall as the 19 inch wheel and tires I plan on running. I am not sure about the final track width working for me, it is hard to tell with the original wheel what will happen for sure. The wheels that have been picture for mock up are a chevy bolt pattern, and I am running the ford pattern at this tim. I still have the make the larger opening on this side, but the tape represenst the wheel arch hieght. I am guessing I need to do a bit research about wheel offsets to ensure I have a good track width for this car.. I am really liking the wider wheel lips in the rendition and would prefer to stick with...
