Upgrading a Fairly Stock Suspension

....
With regards to wheels, I don't really want to swap out new wheels and tires, especially since I'm still on the sbp. But maybe I'll look around for some tires I can mount on there. However, I don't know how wide my wheels are (I'm thinking 4.5-5.5") and a 225 might be too wide for them.

I'm not necessarily on a strict/tight budget. I would just like to upgrade that part once and not have to worry about it or feel like I should upgrade it again for a long while.


You probably have 5" rims. But with disks you may have (or supposed to have) 5.5" rims. 215/60/14. A 225/60/14 can work on a 5.5" rim.

If you are going to stick with the tires you have on there right now (205/75/14?), just put on the sway bars. And they are the same one you will use for future upgrades. Not much performance added with RCD shocks and T-bars with the limited performance and grip tires you currently have.


O, and does Hellwig even have tubular sway bars for A bodies and if they do, do you know how much they cost and where to get them?

Yes they are tubular. And their rear sway bar is adjustable.
