    Howell fuel injection, header, HEI distributor, TH350, NP208, SOA lift with YJ springs in the front & GW springs in the Rear. AMC20 with G2 1 piece chromos trussed, Dana 30 with G2 chromos and 760x ujoints and MM Stainless Hubs, Geared 4.56. Tom Woods shafts, Metal cloaks, Caged, 37" Toyo MTs.
    6 ton jackstands should give you enough height to hold the body up. You probably won't need a spring compressor. At the axle full droop the springs should be loose enough to pull out and squeeze the new ones into place with a little prying. Lowe's brand (Kobalt) tool kit is a really good kit for the money. You can get a full set of 1/4, 3/8, & 1/2in.socket set + wrenches for approx. $100.
