Glad to see this thread up again.. I complete forgot about it..

But to add a few questions.. the approach that a plan to take on tackling the suspension.. am i going in the right direction? Cut coils in front and leaf under axle in rear?( the leafs will be brand new when i do the conversion)

Are there any suggestions you have or ideas regarding a better approach?

How many coils can i cut for maximum drop(looking to have it sitting right above the tire or slightly tucked) Also what shocks did you use in the petty machine?

I have one main concern about clearance from the control arm brackets.. its seem if i go down enough i will have issues of the bracket hitting the engine mount.

what would be the Over all difficulty of this project?
