[HWYSTR455]

I've ran the GW del-alum bushings in the leafs as long as I can remember, even when everyone was against anything but rubber (1980s). Hands-down one of the best upgrades on suspension I've ever done on a 2nd gen.

Nice to see the CAT5 shackle, that's a game-changer. Although the standard del-alum shackle kit is great, this is the cat's meow. I will probably switch over, and potentially swap leafs too.

I did the Herb Adams anti-squat mod way back when too, have the new(er) GW mounts that are much beefier than the OE I haven't installed yet, but looking forward to it.

Just to say, the GW frame connectors are the best out there for 2nd gens, will be switching to those too. I have some home made boxed connectors on there now that have done me well, but it's time to switch.

True too on the spring and shock rates with full-articulating suspensions, been saying this for years. It allows you to properly tune with springs and shocks. Much more granular and improved ride. When people switch, and complain, it's usually because it makes the shock quality scream in your face. Spring rate too.

I tell people I have 700# front springs on my 2nd gen and they stare me in the face thinking I'm crazy, but you would never know riding in it. That car is a go-kart, steer & throttle, goes where you tell it, and you get excellent feedback from the tires (which is the profound limiting factor).

GW is my go-to, Doug continues to raise the bar, true enthusiast/gearhead.

Finally getting that car back on the road, totally looking forward to it.
