What kind of test? Do you mean an alignment? I was going to put bigger
tires on the front to make up for the difference and maybe put air shocks
on the front to bring it up from the back end pushing it down.
Dana 60 rear ends come with 3.73 but I don't plan on trying to retro-fit
a pickup rear end that never was stock in an Impala anyway.
I do plan on still keeping the thing drivable as it is the only thing I have
to get to work with right now.
Thanks for the info.
