The height looks perfect. How's the ride? Stock shocks or aftermarket?

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention, I took out the rear spring cushions and wrapped the top of the springs with garden hose. With the cushions in I could barely tell the rear was lowered. It dropped probably another .5" taking them out. I had stock shocks all around but after jacking up the bolts on the bottom of the stock rear shocks I had to get some quick replacements so I got some Monroe's at AutoZone. The ride is good (for now), speed bumps are not a problem... I do scrape on inclines (driveways, etc) but that's expected.

Do you have the 11s out back or 9.5s. I want to lower but I think I might run into problems with doing that. How much were the springs BTW?

Oh I forgot to say it looks killer mean!

Always prefered the non-chrome Zr1's but yours look great. Must be the stance

In the rear, there is a rubber mount between the spring and the body to help with squeeking sounds. If you take the spring out, it just comes off (it isn't actually attached to anything). This lowers the rear about .5" as stated before. To keep the noise down, you can just slip a little piece of garden hose over the top coil top take the place of the rubber pad.
