Thanks, Mike, that was all good stuff!

One thing that I got outta reading that was that I (3200# '69FB, 306", 4spd, leaf springs & CalTracs) might want to consider locating & installing front shocks that has more travel than OEM length units...Hmmmmmm........

Yes, Or just lower the front shock towers like I did. Use 1/4" steel plate to make flat ones then space the shocks up from there. TomP gets the credit for this mod.
