DML:
I finshed my catalytic converter/muffler/exhaust pipe project. Went really well. I used
a Walker cat and a DYNOMAX Super Turbo kit. Sounds awesome and I totally picked up 20
to 25 HP in doing this project. Partly because the old exhaust was so bad to begin
with. ;-)
<NOTE: For the following paragraphs I should tell you I have a 4x2 with rack & pinion
power steering and stock tires and stock wheels>
My next project is to rebuild the front and rear suspension. I pulling the whole damn
thing apart! All the way to the frame. <grin>
Anyway I need some pointers to parts. I want a suspension that handles more like a
sports car on the road. This will be a road course truck and a drag strip truck. So I
am thinking I will need a rear sway bar since I dont have one. And I want a 2" drop in
the front and a 4" drop in the rear. I was planning on buying Western Chassis drop
spindles and a W.C. adjustable shackle kit. Any thoughts here?
I already spec'ed out all my bushings from Moog catalogs. Gonna order them this weekend.
I will also replace the steering gear mounting bushings since those are pretty much
shot.
Also with the Moog order I will be getting ball joints and the outer tie rods (both RH
and LH sides). Any thoughts here? Did I miss something?
Is it possible to rebuild calipers? Or is it more cost effective to replace the
calipers?
