sounds good, but those mods without good shocks/stuts and springs will just amplify how shitty the stock springs/shocks/struts are.

chassis stiffening makes a huge difference, and those sound like a good base to do the rest of the suspension off of.

Get some springs for sure. I would also look into some better upper control arms.

BTW, who is doing you torque boxes and how much are they charging you. I would like to get mine done so I am trying to get some ideas [patriot]
