I've been throwing the idea around of building a go fast street truck for quite some time now. Coming from a prerunner offroad racing back ground fabrication isn't an issue. I've been thinking of building a set of 3in drop beams that are 3 inches wider per side. ditching the coil springs for a pair of 2.5 8inch coilovers. Building the beams with Heims along with all of the other front suspension components do more or less a strut braise over the top of the engine too add some torsional support. Then in the rear running a four link with a pair of 2.5 10inch coilovers again all Heimed connections then a custom sway bar too keep body roll down too a minimum with that style of suspension. Then swapping the rear end out for an explorer 3.73 LSD disk break 8.8. Putting some nice wide 12-14inch tires out back 10in wide tires up front. Body wise I'd swap all the fenders out for 4in flared fenders. Power plant would be a mildly built 347 stroker paired with a 5 speed. In my mind the truck would handle pretty good cornering and straight line. Opinions ideas?
