looks like you guys pretty much got it!

Do the front suspension to get some good weight transfere! If you dont have traction with slicks i would be you dont have good weight transfere as you arent making ALOT of power are you?

ide get some lower lca's and relo brackets, comp. enginearing rear drag shocks, then use the rest for some used QA1 front shocks. That SHOULD help get the weight on the rear tires.

i wouldnt spend money on the sways, IMO they wont make nearly enough difference for the money you will spend.

torque arm, LCA's , LCA relocation brackets, Sway bars, adj PHB, all with rod ends. also scfs.

get it all used off this site and buy springs and shocks with whats left over
