not that this will work for everyone but this is what I have done on my 95'
;)
relocate batt to rear, relocate gas tank to the bed behind the rear
wheels,get some 10" rear wheels, turn the factory load leaf around and drill
a hole in what is now the front of it and put a rubber snubber in between
the load leaf and the rest of the springs (this pre loads the spring
pack),or get something like caletracks(I made my own design)and put some
drag shocks all the way around
I run all of the above and get consistent 1.8-1.9 short times.
and I almost forgot the most important RUN IT LIKE A RENTAL!!!!
