Plus living where I do RWD with a huge amount of TQ normally equals unsafe in iced conditions even if you are being really gentile, hence my requirement of 4x4 that lead me to build up my truck instead of buying an SRT10. My truck's suspension is almost a direct copy of the SRT10 (springs, shocks, brakes, arms, sway-bars, bushings) with the exception of the rear axle as I haven't found an SRT10 one around here for the right price yet.

Are you referring to OEM look?
Yes. Don't worry about it.

I went to the Portland Roadster Show in 1960 and saw a brand new 59 Ford that had been sectioned 6' with six canted 59 Cadillac taillights, named 'My Blue Heaven'. It changed me forever.

That's NICE, heck I'll post some pictures of my truck. Keep In mind these are like a year old before I started working on it. It's got that "OEM" look that I like lol! Nothing on it is non-mopar appearance wise
