If i missed it here SORRY ,i have my motor and k-frame out and I'm really considering going with these lowers and get rid of my torsion bars--Steve

Yes and yes

Here are some recent pics. You have a couple of options reinforcing the inner fender and entire front end of the car. One is the J bar setup that now has a landing and a reinforcement plate that ties into the factory shock brace. The other is the coilover hoop that is now triangulated.

As far as coilover length goes, it's really up to you. With this setup I am using a Strange Engineering single adjustable S-5204 that has a stroke from 10"-13.85" with a 10" 400# spring. If you use these with the coilover adapters that I make you can safely be anywhere from factory ride height to 3/4" lower. Or you could go with a shorter coilover and have less travel.

Another option is weld some coilover tabs higher on the coilover hoop with a cross brace and go with a longer stroke shock.
