12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build

I'm using Peter's SPC arms and I think I have 450lb springs. Are you getting the 2" ball joints? They actually make a difference you can feel. Try and get 7+ degrees of caster and 1.5 degrees of camber. I was watching your car at Moparty and it looked like it could use more aggressive alignment.
Next on my list of improvements is a custom sway bar. In typical fashion, I over thought it to come up with a "cheap" solution. I think everyone that follows along here will like it.

I sorta came to the conclusion that I could use the 450lb springs since MoParty. The car has always had a good ride, but for MoParty I always set my single adjustable shocks to full stiff. Well, after we were done with the 3S, I forgot to loosen my shocks up again and it’s definitely not too stiff. It actually feels much more even with how the rear leafs ride, so my thinking is I can bump up to the 450’s then adjust my shocks softer again.
Yeah, planning to go ahead and do the 2” extended balljoints. I have the rebuildable QA1’s now and I saw awhile back that Denny was checking in to having some 2” studs made to work with the QA1’s, I’ll have to check with him to see if those are available.
It definitely needs an improvement in the alignment. I didn’t get as much caster last time as I would’ve liked, and it’s pulling to the left now as well.
