If you're going to go the coil over route, then spend the bucks in that direction. You'll be losing the leaf springs, F&R and all the bushings. Your shocks should be sent in to Bilstein for re-valving, grooving & repairs if needed.

Then, you can adjust the height independently at all 4 corners. The tow (toe) out you are referring to is more than likely camber. Toe doesn't change with squat, but camber does.

Now, when you finish with the coilovers, replace the camber struts with heavy duty spherical heim-end assys. When you do that, you eliminate the rubber & that goofy eccentric camber adjuster and end up with some really good camber control. And then there's the heim-end rear toe rod assy...... and the rear links that can use some poly bushings...... oh yes, don't forget the sway bar poly bushings. You know, it just goes on & on.

BTW, you guys were there when I talked to Corey this afternoon. He said Brad was there!

Take care,
Jerry
