Hi I'm new to the street strip stuff I know how to make a car go fast and turn left but that doesn't really apply to my new project. I just bought a 75 LUV with a 283 and TH350 already installed. now I'm dealing with the rear half of the truck, I want to put in narrowed 9" but I ddon'tknow how narrow to go or how narrow to fabricate the rear frframeails. I also plan on using a 4 link setup and ddon'tknow what coilovers to use. On top of all that I would like to know if someone builds a rear frame kit specifically for the LUV. I have looked around at websites like JEGs etc. and have seen uuniversalframe rails but they have like 20 different ones. I'm new to this kind of stuff and could use all the help I can get. I want to do this right the first time. When its all said and done I would like the rear of the truck sitting on 16'' wide tires. Thanks for reading my post all help and Ideas are greatly appreciated.

Hey Gabe, see the link below, I know its a ladder bar kit, but they had 4-link setups as well for good prices. But to save some $$ you could buy one of those kits, and fab up the frame yourself with some 2x3 tubing. That place also sells just coil overs, just the bars, and odd and ends. Later
