Re: Front Suspension

I don't think it's a bolt-in but you might check out a "Porterbuilt" Dropmember.It's square tube if I remember.

Re: Front Suspension

the porterbuild dropmember is definetely the one to choose , it doesnt only improve the geometry it allso turns the original steering intoo rack and pinion making it a lot better steering , works with all types of engines and both stock arms and strongarms coilshocks and airbags .
oh did i mentioned it lays frame with tall tires without a need to z the frame

he allso makes a crossmember that takes the corvette C5 suspension
