So--looks like my decision making is back to home plate. Anybody got an opinion on weather I should just work with the leaf spring rear I have or swap for a coil spring rear, maybe from an Explorer. I haven't gone to the salvage yard and done any measuring yet but I've heard that the Explorer rear is about 60' face to face.
Thanks for the help guys.

Have you talked to the guys at RideTech about what they recommend for your setup? Some of their ShockWave systems knock down some very good times on the AutoCross flat track, and they can pretty much provide everything as a system. Might be a little pricey, though.... At least they might give you some good advice on options.

No I haven't talked to RideTech yet. I did talk to Bob at Progressive and some salesman at Fatman. I'll give them a call on Monday. I was just joking about road course racing What I'm really looking for is a comfortable ride and reliability.

The few here that responded to my post say that they haven't experienced any problems, but I read some post on another board that just trashed the air ride as too temperamental with leak down problems among others. I'm not convinced Always good to have options,\.
