Hi,let me be the first to welcome you to the 'bolt.
Sounds like you've got things pretty well worked out in your head.
There's also quite a few other Texan 'bolters frequent this site.
A properly set up truck with rebuilt stock suspension and brakes will still probably still ride like a truck,but there's tips and tricks available to make your life easier.
Just ask any queries you have in the relevant sub-forums and the info will come.
Good luck and pictures would be nice.
Jock.
