If you have 400+ fl./lb. of torque avail, you dont need the 3.28 first gear, stay with the 2.87. That is a fairly good shock. - but you may want to consider relocating the rear mounts. Our shock mount kit realy does make a difference, better money spent there. When will you be starting.
Thanks for your reply, Rob! I definitely will be buying any of this stuff that you have over anyone else! After all, EVERYTHING I know about suspension tuning I've learned from this thread or through it's inspiring me to read further. I hope everyone is supporting you for your kind assistance to us!

I have the front end off now and am going to be starting up there first. My first step, when the weather improves for even a day, is to head to you pull it and aquire a set of 72-87 A-arms and steering components. I figure that will be a good time to get a set of your drop spindles. Once I get those installed, along with disc brakes, I'll be calling for the front sway bar. You don't sell the steering boxes do you? I'd rather buy it from you if possible... You ever consider making your own handling kits?

Thanks again!
