A gear change will give you the most bang for the buck. 3.70's or
3.90's. A Shelby trac bar will work with fresh 4-leaf springs and
stiffer bushings. Look at gusseting the spring mounts to the axle
housing and reinforcing the sheetmetal above where the front spring
mount attaches to the subframe. The trac bar will try to separate this
section. Look for thicker rear shackes. Aftermarket 1350 u-joints and
upgraded axle studs.

closed in this weather.

Good for testing performance of biblical proportions.
