That looks better the tire size suits the vehicle size,I like it I do not wish to be critical of your build because it look great but I would replace part of the front spring hanger with some rectangle plastic and blend it in to the chassis rail and shorten the spring hangers for two reasons 1 it would look heaps better, The chassis was designed for a coil front end and not a spring front end so the chassis rails stay level rather that drop down like a front end designed for springs does 2 This make it a lot stronger. I have had people the my local off road club increase the front spring hangers to much and have had major drama off road due to the Hanger collapsing or sidewards flex of the hangers causing them to brake or worse the spring braking from moving in a sideways direction which they are not designed to do. I don't know if its just me but I find that I normally replace the engine in this kit as it seams way to small for this scale and the intake is way two tall

Nice job on the conversion, it's looking great! You are right to put the leaf springs on the front. All 2 wheel drives of that style had coil springs, as well as 4x4 150s and broncos, but the 4x4 250s and 350s had leaf springs up front! I'm working on a '96 250 4x4, and have swapped on some leafs as well. I'm looking forward to watching your progress
