then honestly what you propose is a total waste of time, money and effort. A quality steering box with a 'wonder bar', good springs & shocks, rebuild the LCA with global west del-a-lum bushings, rebuild the front end with moog or pro-foprged parts (if they make 3rd gen parts) and your done. Hell, if it has the big sway bars already you wont even need more than bushings there either. Honestly the steering box is the most expensive thing I listed if you get a good one like a Tom Lee built box, which will feel as good as any R&P. Not a crap shoot parts store rebuild. Set the alignment up at like 6* caster, -1* camber and a wee bit of toe in and you are gold. With good tires you'll be very happy. I propose a weekend of work that is easy to do vs a year of effort with little chance of improvement and a higher chance of fail. Just my $0.02 from experience.

Hey everybody, it's good to have you on the Baba-too-da-ba-too-ba-ba-buh-doo-ga-ga-bop-a-dop
