I will get some close up of the tailights for you. As for lowering, In the front I cut 1 1/2 coils and added a 2" spring rubber to retain the ride. I am however having Eaton Spring make me a set for a proper 3" lowering. I also added new lower bump stops. In the rear, I added 3" lowering blocks, removed the #4 & #6 spring and added airshocks and a ride leveling compressor from and 85 Riviera. This allows me to raise and lower about 5" with the flip of a switch. Also added shorter bump stops. This does make for a "spongier" ride in the rear so I will be swapping to newer Chevy S10 Blazer springs. The have the same spring rate, a 6 leaf pack but are much straighter to allow a stiffer ride with no bounce. Hope this helps.
