Bobby what does your truck turn in the 1/4? Don't tell me those street slicks are all for looks.
I have not been to the track yet. When I do I will probably change gearing, I currently have 3.50's in it but I have a spare Strange carrier that I'm going to set up with a 3.70 or 3.91 gear. I'm curious myself.

I'm going to set up a Strange nodular case with a shorter set of gears so that I can swap back and forth from 3:50 to 3:91.

It's pretty ugly, I still don't have a hood on it yet. I have three hoods and I want to modify 1 or 2 of them with hood scoops or cut two up to make a raised cowl hood. I just haven't had the time to commit to something like that right now. The bed is a brown replacement bed from when I got rear-ended. It's got a long way to go...

Great minds think alike! I have already cut my second hood for the raised cowl induction. I am doing 3/4". Real subtle factory looking with all the factory lines.

No they come with just normal struts. But ive found some coilovers for this front suspension. They're a little spendy but the biggest drop springs i can find are 1.5"
