Will mine handle?

I have poured through the make it handle thread, but I am looking for something a little milder.

My truck will serve as daily driver status, as well as parts hauler.

I have tried to maintain an overall stock exterior appearnce, other than ride height. I am hoping i can carve some corners with this set up.

Here is what I have done,

Front

A Arms and spindles replaced with 74-87 parts.
Tierods all new later pieces, new balljoints,
All bushings are new poly urathane
CPP 1.25" sway bar, with shorter mounting brackets.
CPP Shock reinforcing brackets
Pro Comp Toxic shocks for lower app
CPP 3" drop coils with 1/2 coil cut off

350 engine in 6 cyl mounts, so the wieght is farther back

Rear

CPP 5" drop springs
CPP rear shock relocation mounts
Pro Comp Toxic shocks for lower app
CPP Long Adj Panhard bar

Rear mounted Blazer tank

Wheel are 17x7.5" FJ steelies

Tires are 235/60/17 Nexen

At this point, I am guessing the wheel and tire combo is my limiting factor. I would like to go with something a little wider and stickier, but options are very limited.


I am not looking to burn up the auto cross, but would like to be able to hit the on ramps with enough force to scare some of the rice burners with camber issues out of the way!

Any thoughts? suggestions?
