I just want some direction and yes some take by hand and teach. I just don't want to waste any money, I have been through that. Broke, Busted and Disgusted is not a good look on me let alone anyone.

If your primary goal is to "hook up," I would recommend going with a drag race four-link, get rid of the leaf springs and go with a coil-over shock configuration. The reason I say that is because if you keep the leaf springs, you'll have to install a rear housing isolator or floater device, and I've never really been able to make those work very well. Plus, with a drag race four-link, it will be a lot safer in what you want to do (the street style, poly bushed kits permit a lot of movement and can cause unpredictable steering, especially if you pull the front end off the ground, plus they absorb energy). The drag race four-link will permit you to locate instant center relatively far forward to compensate for the large weight bias at the front of our trucks. Just as an example, the instant center on my Super Gas 1963 Chevy II hovers around 53 inches forward and 5 inches above the ground and my weight distribution is 52% front to 48% rear. If you want to learn more about the geometries and applications behind a four-link suspension and setting up a chassis, Rick Jones' chassis book is a good start http://www.rjracecars.com/The-Rick-J...-Prodview.html...it's not too expensive. If want more in depth info, you can get Jerry Bickel's book http://www.jerrybickel.com/complete-...t-rt-2013.html...it's a bit more money. Let us know what you decide to do.
