    I'd post this question over there and maybe PM him, he's built a few vehicles for that series and races it all the time, Joe Darlington over there does as well and a few others. You want to keep it as low as possible with the biggest tires possible, I'd say do some trimming, run 32's at the stock height or maybe add a 1" coil spacer, I'd do the Aussie up front myself, put that money toward other parts. I'd upgrade all the bushing, the sway bars included, you'd also be surprised as to what your stock shocks can handle but if you have the dough the Fox's would be awesome. I'd look into getting the Kilby skidplates or making your own. I've got an interesting design for tube fenders if your interested in going that far. Just a few suggestions

    Still liking the idea of the Vehi over the other trucks being considered. I talked to the guy that is selling one by me and he said the check engine light is on due to something wrong with over filling the gas tank? Dealership quoted him $300 to fix. Anyone every heard of that?


    So with a $2k mod budget (more later, just initial first round)-

    I thought this list would be ok:
    • Torsion Lift Front $0.00
    • Rear Lift: $400.00
    • 33"s: $800.00
    • Airbumps: $400.00
    • Emulsion Shocks: $450.00


    Possibly sliders (Another $300 to $400).
    Possibly exo-cage


    Keeping in mind this is getting race prepped, what other initial mods should be up for major consideration?
