I dont know if I would do the hose mod for the rear with the 17x11s.... Youre gonna have to do some hammering on the inside then. They fit perfect with stock height, but youre probably gonna rub if you do that.

Spend the $$ on the drive shaft or a DS Loop so when that stocker brakes it doesnt come thru the floor and say hi to ya..... cause its gunna break.....
The fronts the Strange Singles Adj. are around $150 and the QA1's are nice also. If your going to go Double Adj the Stranges are cheaper. Dont forget new springs for the front when ya order the shocks...
After that a Mount to make the TQ arm a Body mount is around $250 so the stress of the One ya got is off the tail shaft of the trans and she should be ready to go.....

I would definetly get a new driveshaft.... That stocker isnt going to like a high rpm launch with the nitrous activated.
