catalogue, although Im not sure... Somebody has got to know short of Me

It has a heaver front sway bar than stock and has a sway bar on the rear.
It has an aluminum drive shaft and some kind of brace which connects from
the rear leaf springs to the chassis to prevent wheel hop. It works very
well because I have never even felt the slightest wheel hop, even on 20ft+
burnouts. BEst bet would be to locate an R/T and give it a good look over
to see what your looking for.
