86 swb handling questions

im trying to get my truck to handle really well. what kind of suspesion set ups work the best for this? i was thinking 4 link coil over in the rear and drop spindles and coil overs in the front somewhere around a 4/6 drop and i have 29x18x20 tires in the rear with some 26x10x18 for the front

Re: 86 swb handling questions

A 4/6 drop isn't too drastic & offers more ground clearance. Coil-overs are very adjustable too....
The biggest issue I see will be the drastic size difference of F/R (harder to tune).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
