Ive done all kinds of searches on front suspension and cant come up with much. Ive been talking to Nathan from Porterbuilt and Im pretty sure im going to go with a 4-link and coil overs for the rear of my 86 but i was wondering if anyone has any pics or ideas of how to redo the front. I still pull a 16ft trailer so im only lowering it 3/4 but i want it to handle like a vette. Well maybe thats streching it but at least not so much like an 80's truck if you know what i mean!! Probably gonna run 20x10 rims on the rear and 20x8.5's on the front. boss338's or coys. havent decided yet but something like that. Suggestions wanted. pics even better.

I was kinda thinking about something like that. maybe not as elaborate with the rack and pinion and everything. But i guess if your going to change it might as well go all out.
