I have I think a 1-1/2” adapter with a 1/2” spacer behind it and a 1/4 or 3/8” spacer in front of it! The lug studs aren’t long enough for any more and the track width looks right.What if you spaced the wheel out some?

Yes, it is way easier to get to the motor mounts with the springs out. FWIW, I took the ACDelco 45H1057 springs, cut off 1 full coil and paired them with drop spindles. Ended up about 3.25 inches lower. Ride is very stiff.I have to change the motor mounts (on the frame) to the v8 style to accept the ls mounts, and I hear it’s easier with the springs out of the way (I haven’t checked it yet, but sounds like a good time to do the springs...
In my experience I just did Belltech 1 inch drop springs with 2 inch drop spindles and I installed urethane bushings in everything riding 20 inch 50 & 55 series tires. Ride is except-able but firmer due to bushings I’m thinking.?. I think I’m gonna tear it all apart and go back to rubber bushings in control arms and springs when I replace my worn out steering box.
