Changed the rear springs in the Pontiac after work today. That certainly corrected the stance. Going to be rebuilding the front end on my truck tomorrow... new upper and lower a-arms, new bell tech shocks, and front coils from my old truck. (Less miles and 1/2 a coil removed to get the ride height where I want it) The next big project will be to remove the rear axle, rebuild it, and install 4.10 gears & a Yukon posi. (Currently 3.42s and open carrier with 255K miles) I'll also be installing the lower mile leaf springs from my old truck, and replacing the rear shocks with Bilstein 5100s. I'm leaning towards doing the rear brakes at the same time, will upgrade to SUV rotors and dual piston calipers. And adapt an SUV rear sway bar. That should square away the brakes and suspension. I'm chomping at the bit to tear out the 4.8 & 4L60E, and replace it with the LQ4 & 80E from my old truck. I need more powa!

My parts arrived late, didn't have as much time as I would have liked. Only got the driver's side done. I am sore and aching all over. Work is going to suck tomorrow.
Enjoy some boring pictures...

Finished the other side today, truck is back on the ground. VERY unhappy, doesn't sit any lower despite taking 1/2 a coil out of the springs. I'm pooped, I'll have it aligned this week and go from there.
