Ready on Arrival

The previous owner, Kelsey, had already completely rebuilt the entire front suspension before he sold us the car. For some odd reason he used big block springs. It makes for a sloppy ride, but probably offers marginaly better weight distribution. He did a really nice job.

HINT (save time): Find deals like this! We've never touched the front suspension.

While replacing the differential, we also replaced the springs, isolators, bushings, and we had the lower control arms boxed. We got the polygraphite bushings, isolators, and performance rated springs from PST. The control inserts were welded in by a friend of mine who also installed the new bushings with a 20 ton press.
