Suspension kits....Recommendations?
I don't use the "kits" cause I don't know who is supplying the ball joints and stuff for them. I'd spec out Moog parts from www.rockauto.com
I've done rubber uppers and lower with poly strut rod bushings and poly sway bar bushings. Later I went to poly lower control arm bushings. For what you are doing I'd run rubber K791 lower control arm bushings. I like the poly strut bushings. They take all the braking force. Make sure to grease them up between the K-frame, and washers.
Alignment:
1/16" toe in
.3 degree negative camber
3-4 postive caster
How to install Moog K7103 offset bushings for more positive caster:
Install arrows on bushings like diagram
