Whats the speed limit in NJ? Freeway here is 60, and 70 in rural areas. 90 :eek:? after you roll and total it, I'm looking for some interior parts. <br><br>I am a ford truck guy all the way, but I've had some chevy CARS I liked ;). <br><br>I have heard/read about a different steering set up that lowers and parallels the components, it is supposed to help the bumpsteer thing.

Steering stabilizer, ball joints, rear leaf spring poly bushings, new front end poly bushings. I had a 77 no drop bracket or drop pitman and it was great till the ball joints bushings and steering box got sloppy.

Speed limit in nj is 65 but when other car are blowing by my foot goes out of control and hits the gas. As far as rolling at those speeds, your life would not even have time to flash before your eyes......<br><br><br><br><br>CAPS ON, caps off.

Well lets see look at it like Nascar, put full width axles on it, as wide a tire you can fit and as small a dia you can live with, just lower the body a little, full roll cage her a built 351C with twin turbos, a little nitro and if you cant pass it, go over it and as you go over the vet drip a little oil on er

Jumped under the truck last night to check out the pitman arm and fro a drop for the track bar and found the tie rod on the drag link has some play in it. Checked out prices on the drag link at abot $175 to $190 and thought I might replace the whole mess with that tube style linkage, I think I had seen it on Jeff's web site. Has anyone seen or used it..<br><br><br>Thanks<br><br>Joe
