Front should come down about level, if it retains original small block springs.
Are those pie crust slicks from Towel City ?

The springs are small block by Eaton...yes they are Towel City, I sure like em....fronts are Firestone Wide Oval radial....so all 4 tires are radial with the "Bias ply" look.

I bought a pair of those slicks too and 1 was so far out of balance I returned it. The replacement was better, but still took a lot of weight. They seem OK on the road now.

Got a little work done on the 55 today...rear brake hose in, new master cylinder, flushed out all old brake fluid, so brakes are totally done and ready, also front KYB shocks installed. Next weekend Blueprint engine going in...still waiting on the transmission though, should be done in a couple weeks.
