Rear suspension recommendations.....

@Velocity111 I hear ya. Please keep the thread updated it would be great to know what you find out and end up going with. My goal has been to build a rough and tumble daily that's as quick and brawny as I can build on a budget. The KYBs are nothing "special" but provide a firmer more modern feel and are quite affordable. I really like having the 2.5" lift on the leaf springs as it brings that nice fat chrome bumper up to a good level where over caffeinated suv drivers think twice about tail gate'n me on the highway commutes. I'm running 225/60/r14's all around so I get a bit more of a nudge in the height department while feeling really stuck to the road in any driving condition. I feel like I could be mow'n over zombies while driving through a corn field... But that's what I wanted on that car... I'm sure you're go'n for something different :)

Good luck and let us know what happens!
