I would have to say a torque arm. Since this is mostly a drag car, look for a shorter torque arm rather than longer. Since you have the tire to handle it, you can take advantage of the shorter arm's ability to hit the tires harder.

if youre gonna get a torque arm, buy a good one the first time. I recommened UMI's chassis mounted one with the driveshaft loop.

LCA relocation brackets will help also

^^What he said.

Stay away from the Jegster one. Requires removing some of the interior to install, gets in the way of some stuff under the car, and they break. Buy a quality piece
