Re: Need performance suspension

Are you talking straight line performance, or track performance? For track handling, it's hard to beat a C4 Vette conversion.

What's your budget?

Check out Porterbuilt....IMO, the best C4 conversion on the planet.

Nathan Porter (porterbuilt) designed and built. I don't know the final price, but he can tell you. Depending on what the donor parts run, I would think the front could be done for $3k, not sure on the back half. Hands down the sickest production system designed for our trucks out there.

Here's a write up in Classic Trucks on the strongarm version (what I will run):

<edit> I love these pictures:
