weight transfer I'm going to be getting some 3-way adj. Lakewood rear drag shocks. What can I do up front to help weight transfer? I don't really want to unhook the swaybar so is there anything else I can do?

really what i'd recommend would be drop the swaybar, battery in trunk, !bumper supports, tubular k member, again some QA1's would do great for your weight transfer as would a nice set of skinnies..

Yeah that's all good stuff but you could just start with a set of adjustable shocks and a pair of skinnies to get you started. The swaybar might have to go though but I would start with those 2 mods and work from there.
