Well the engine is a .30 over 318 4bbl with 444 lift cam and A999 auto trans with 9 1/4 with 3.55 sure grip I would like maybe 2 inch drop in the rear but would drop shackles alone make it wheel hop? Also I'm not planning on hauling any thing with it. I got a 98 ram 1500 for that. More than likely I'll probably leave it alone though
