    Looks pretty good to me but it's not my car :icon16:   You could use some lowering blocks if you want the rear lower.

    I love it!  I had 275/50/17's on my '71 and had to add a leaf, and roll the lip.

    If it were mine, I'd lower it some in the rear.  It's hard to tell by your pictures but...If the front fender lip is level with the top of the front wheels, I'd lower the rear so the quarter panel lip is level with the top of the rear wheels. :2cents:  It doesn't look bad now.  I just think it would look better if the front/rear wheel well gaps matched.

    Hard to tell from pics, but I don't like to see light/gap between rear tire and body......

    Thanks guys.

    I can lower it, Dr Diff´s spring kit has 2 holes at the front leaf spring hanger. But I will get some tire at outer fender issue. I will take at better picture tomorrow

    Down 1" is my vote.  Looks good now but would look better down 1". 

    When I've had to make a decision like this, I've used the cheap "paint" program on my computer to move the wheel/tire up.  You can see what it will look like without having to turn a wrench.

    Here's basically what it would look like...

    Another vote for lowering it, especially if you already have to 2 bolt front hanger, easy change.
