No, I went with the Hotchkis rear suspension set-up. It came with the conventional Bilstein shocks. Would coil overs be a better set-up you think?

The size of your tire is determined on what your final gear ratio is in your transmission as well as your rear end gear ratio. Im trying to figure this out as well right now. It's very overwhelming! To do it right you have to get everything to jive correctly.

Actually they were faster than that. It came today and it's in the back of my truck right now. I'll take a look at it tonight when I get to the house. I hope the best for your grandfather and let me know how everyting goes. I really do appreciate it.

Glen,
I was going through everything and I'm trying to figure out what type of throw out bearing this is. It won't seat completely flat when I slide it onto the input shaft. The hydraulic line fitting is to big in diameter and won't fit though the opening on the transmission. I thought about just making the hole bigger on the transmission but I thought I would ask you first to get some input.
