Thanks again, Rob. Greatly appreciated!
Tubular nonadjustable lower control arms. Frame reinforcement kit from S&W and a good anti roll bar is all you should need. Stock springs work fine if it sits too high you can remove the upper rubber from the spring. All of the stockers you see have weight in the rear. Afco shocks from Fastshocks for the front are most critical. Even stock gas back shocks work fine as long as they are in good shape.

Great info! Thank you! Does the anti roll bar work with the sway bar or is the sway bar removed.

One more question... by 'frame reinforcement kit' do you mean subframe connectors? Thank you!

One more thing... The only tubular nonadjustable LCAs that I find have poly bushings. Is this ok, or do I need solid bushings? Thanks, again!
