I wasn't sure at first but I am starting to think they will look good once the tires are mounted.
Wow your truck is really looking good! i noticed you did a flip (axle on top of leaf springs)in the rear are you using stock springs on the front or are they lowered springs?
I used a flip kit on the rear with the optional shackles. However the shackles are not yet installed in the photos. I have three sets of OEM front springs, stock height, 1 inch drop (cut), and 2 inch drop (cut). Right now the two inch springs are installed and I am waiting to see what they look like when the wheels and tires are installed. At that point I will decide what to do with the back, install the DJM shackles or use the OE shackles for another 1 inch drop in the back. If needed I will "adjust" the front height by cutting the springs a little more to match the back. However, I will probably wait to make final adjustments until the bed is installed as it will drop the truck slightly from the weight.
I can do that. Any particular view?
The engine & trans are as far forward as the slots in the plates will allow. With the TM headers, the rear bolt on the right side is essentially impossible to access!
My set up is pretty much identical to what is described above. I shimmed under both sides of the engine plates to lift the engine enough for the steel oil pan to clear the rack. The Torque Monster headers do require some modification to the rear of the right side plate to clear. My engine is all the way forward on the plates and the right side plate does lower the engine so it sits level with the left side. The photos above do depict the correct orientation.
