I have western chassis on my truck and it handles just fine. The hangers are new, I was going to put them on my 88 but ended up selling it. they have no hardware and are in great condition, they are grey. I can send you a pic message if you give me your phone number. let me know

Edelbrock shocks stiffen up the ride? Would it still ride near stock?

I guess we could just go to Lowes or Home Depot for the hardware. It is just bolts, washers, lock washers, and nuts, right?

PM sent!

He is letting me spend his money on what I think is best and he will pay be back later after I install it all!

Looks like I am now going to go with 2" Hotchkis coils. DJM shackles, Western Chassis hangers, Edelbroch IAS Shocks, Hotchkis sway bars!

Also trying to talk him into SS brake lines, Goodmark cowl hood, grill, new carpet, bed cover!

383, built trany, nice set of rims and rubber, roll pan!

Yeah, it will ride the same. I had them before and I felt them the same but a little stiff when going over bumps.

So between Doetsch-Tech and Edelbrock, which do you prefer?
