Finally done, except for the cross over steering-next week's project.

Actually, the front hasn't been finished yet. I was going to do the 80*, but the local driveshaft builder said it may not be necassary for my driving style. I have to measure it tonight and get it built tomorrow.

I would be interested in more tech info.
For example, what did all this set you back? Who did your spring work? Did you require any custom fabbing? How did you choose to compensate the speedo? What is your gearing? etc.

The rear shocks were put on after the steering test drive which is when the picture was taken. But, good eye. I put single bilstein 7100's in the back.
In total I spent about $7500.
The springs were built by Atlas, here in CA.
There were a few minor fabrication parts, like extending the steering drag link and the sway bar links, the rest is pretty cut and dry. As for the speedo, haven't done it yet, but will tonight with the Superlift Truspeed. Gears are factory 3.73, but this new engine and tranny run awesome. I can honestly say that I don't think I lost any power. This engine just pulls so well.
