light weight front suspension

lookin got get a couple pounds of the front end of the truck.

got a new job, more money so i wanna re do my front suspension.

like put on either strange struts ( i already hate the strut towers coming through the fire wall)

or get some good tubular control arms with adjustable coiler overs.

im also going to remove the factory crossmember and weld a tube in there to take its place and gusset it for strength. i want to loose as much weigh in the front as possible.

i have motor plates so im not worried about loosing the factory engine mounts. ( i know i need the engine limiters )

also gonna switch to rack and pinion

what kind of set ups are you guys running?

thanks
