I'm with you in the suspension department.
I'm almost finished with it. Just need to install carrier bearing relocator bracket, measure all u-joint angles, and pinion angle. Possibly shim the rear axle. No big deal because I will have the capability to shim from 1* all the way to 5* on the axle. I have enough shims now!
Nice times BTW!
Not sure my set-up will hang, but I'll sure out pull you!!!!
May be calling you up for some help with the engine mods. If I ever get around to it!

not always true. look at the car guys running 224's on afr heads with great results. peak power is good but under the curve, especially for a truck is what really matters.
