Yep,I don't want to even go there.I mentioned elsewhere to some member that I'd have to change the shackles or re-arc the leaf-springs to restore original ride-height,and then I'd still lose all kinds of clearance inside the wheel house.I wouldn't be able to climb grades without down-shifting,acceleration on freeway on-ramps would suffer,"passing" would be an issue,it just goes on and on!------------------ The Tremec 6-spd trans is something I'll think about.-------------- An engine swap is intellectually a delicious thing to think about also,although intimidating, considering the truck is daily-driver and used in construction/work/income.
