I finally did my PBR brake set up on my notch, and decided to throw my new rims on. Just wanted to get your guys thoughts.
I plan to go lower in the rear, once I find some time.

Dis-regard the filters used, only pics I have at the moment

Thanks guys!!

It's the new XXR 535, in black chrome... The black chrome is really not up to par, but what can you expect with the price.

I do have center caps, but waiting to get a blank black decal for them.

Thanks guys, I for sure wanted something different, that nobody in the area has, and I think I hit it right on!

I'm making some center caps at the moment, I'll update when I get them done.

I'm running a 275/40/17 in the rear, would it be okay to go taller, I'm thinking it would look to tall, and look awkward.

I think your tires are good. Just start with half a coil first n see how u like it. Better to not cut enough than to cut too much. I've been there beforelol

would MM adj lower arms be a good (but expensive) alternative to cutting springs?

^Dude your notch is sittin perfect. So you ised the MM adj hd lower arms? There are 2 different MM adj lower arms, but whats the difference? Beside one more expensive than the other...

I plan on going that route to even out my verts drop.

Btw op nice notch as well!

I don't know much about what mm has to offer but if there's a more expensive control arm, its prolly better material/bushings. I've never had weight jackers, but if I ever get another solid axle mustang, i plan on going that route. thanks for the props man
