Tom, The problem that I found is that these trucks didn't corner when they were new and they sure don't know that they have a lot of miles on them.Same thing with the brakes-they were flat out at 50 mph. If you can live with the way that they ride,stop and steer-stay stock. I personally want't to upgrade the front end on every one that I own unless it is a stock resoration.Take the extrat time and money and do it right and safe, the first time no matter which way you decide.
