A guy in my club had the first dodge in the country to lay full frame on 26" wheels, and the tires looked like electrical tape wrapped around them. However, this truck rode as good or even better than stock, depending on the psi he was riding at.

Sorry for getting off topic...lol
Fantastic.............. Being old school and a street rodder for many many years I had seen the old way of doing things. I am glad that guys like you have taken the time to study suspension geometry and finally get it right.
