Something to consider is your pinion angle. Coil overs will slam it pretty hard.

Get some drop beams for the front, Flip kit for the rear and a Bronco 2 rear sway bar and you'll be good

Casper have you seen that white single cab with lime green 15''s?

I would consider it, I want to track the truck I could do any form of fabrication as far as mounting the coil overs i am not looking to make a mini truck, but i do want a lowered, stiff well handling track truck
