Re: Performance Steering & Handling?

All chat is good here. With my decision making, as usual, I started out wanting to build the ultimate road handler. Then reality set in and this thing handles better tan anything I've driven in decades and just sitting a little lower with give it better handling. I want it to look cool with a lower stance. I decide 2" based on the rear springs, or actually based on the spindles which drop 2". So go 2" springs and spindles then decide. I didn't want blocks on the rear but decided if I want another inch I'll do blocks and front springs. 2" keeps the truck a bit more usable for hauling and clearance over rough spots. I may want another inch only on the front to give slightly more rake. Anyway, start with straight up 2" and that may be it or it will be a good phase one
