ya my 60s before were like a 2.1x in most instances, i know it shaved a good bit of my 60s. i let Quik run the truck a couple times and i dont know if he experienced it but i never experienced the wheel hop once

truck did do some squating. he still had his front sway bar intact. next time around ill have him take the end links off so its a lot free'r. truck goods leaving the line its just that it dont have enough momentum to get going. to low of a flashing on that converter. personally anything less then 3500 is to small for any NA motor even stock

wheel-hop is the only thing I'd be concerned about at this point, and it seems like there is zero, the other half of the equation is getting the right shocks, leaf springs rates, etc. Once that's all sorted this might be a deadly combo! I hope so.

Any plans to experiment with different length bars?

What about pulling the overload leaf? That will lessen the spring load and rate and it should give you more weight transfer. It'll lower your rear though. I'm not sure if you want it any lower.
