Get the poly graphite bushing kit from Suspension Technologys.

Measure the front suspension to see how much it can come down,
then set the back down with lowering blocks for the straight axle,
until the car rides level.

Go with stock springs and hard shocks. Add an anti-sway bar to the back,
then increase the size/number of the front bar/bars to nuetralize out the handling. If you have no bars at all right now, junkyard bars are about $20. I find a lot of heavy duty bars there.

When you get to testing out the handling seriously, I know a place we can set it up for your particular driving style. -Bob

 

I know for a fact there are poly bushings, larger sway bars, nice drop kits available. If you want optimum performance do a 4-link setup. LMK if I can help.

Link the back... not that much to work around on those trucks and that makes it real nice to work on...
