    Depends on what your budget is, lots of different companies making components for the '35's.... Chassis Engineering in Iowa is one of the first companies that come to mind..Check them out.

    I had the same thoughts as Dave, Chassis Engineering. I think for a workable, low cost setup, you can't beat parallel springs on the rear and a single spring on a dropped axle on the front. It requires very little in the way of setup, and has a very acceptable ride quality.

    There are more exotic setups out there, including coilovers and independant front suspensions, but dollar for dollar, this setup gives you the most bang for your buck, and also just keeps on ticking.

    If you scan some of the rod magazines, there are ads in there for these kits that just bolt or weld on. Maybe even Speedway.
