I'm no expert on 4-links but from other 97-98 WB cars I know of that run similar MPH's as yours, I would try a 46"-47" IC keeping your 8". That's free to try and if it doesn't work, no $$ loss.
And yes, you want the front end as free and loose as possible including the shocks. Again, it's free. Tightening the shocks comes when you have a 60' problem...opposite of your current situation.

Jeff, I can get a 47" long but I dont think I can get it down to 8. it goes to 11" high.

I know your on a budget so I say try the free stuff first! Heck, even with a pile of cash to spend the free stuff should be exhausted first.
