Going 12 bolt rearend...what else do I need to order for hooking up on the strip? What works??? What is junk... This is very new ground for me. I would like to be pulling 1.5's on Nittos...
What do lower relocation brackets do? Shocks help? Airbag in the front spring...? Is a new torque arm worth $400+??
I am lost when it comes to suspension upgrades...

Well a new rear end isn't the mod of choice when looking for traction, unless you're about adding weight to the rear. Go with some LCAs, and a torque arm. A torque arm is definantly worth the 400 bucks because it'll save you the multiple times that you'll spend for a replacement stock one. Another thing is to get some LCA relocation brackets to have the correct LCA angle.

Right now I am thinking going with a Strange rearend. I will have to look again, but I think you can get them with the LCA mounts already welded in.
Good I am glad to hear the Torque arm is worth it.
What is the best brand names on all these items?
I know the 12's are heavy and rob HP, but my stocker won't last and I don't want to stick 400$ (gears, install kit etc....) into it if it isn't going to last. I have 2.73's in now and they gots to go!
Thanks for info....
