Re: Nedd some help on tubbing

well, you'll have to have your rearend narrowed in order to go with big slicks. And to do that, you'll have to send it to a machine shop that does that.

As for the rear suspension, I'd go with either a ladder bar or 4-link set up with coil over shocks. This will help you get the power to the ground, and will give you some adjustability (especially if you go with a 4-link).
