Are you sure the radius arms are causing you lack of flex. I have all I need with ford arms.

A balanced suspension is best. by the way the truss kit you are talking about is tnt's truss.

JENSSON's setup isnt like yours Matt. And he isnt talking about the TNT kit, I think he is talking about a kit that clamps on around the cast wedges of a 78-79 D44 to create a lower link mount. Ive never heard of this but i know a few guys that sure would be interested in this. Let me know if you find a link.
Oh yeah and RENIX to HO swap, search naxja, i know there are numerous threads discussing the problems you might run in to.

Bingo! The D44 I have is exactally as described. There are some kits that have the link option but I have seen just the clamp that allows you to build and mount your own links. I found one set up today but it was rather pricey! for the clamps, link and heim its about $1000.
As for the HO swap I was looking at the intake,.. but my concerns are with the AW4 as it needs a throttle imput to the tranny ECM. So I figured I would adapt all the Renix sensors over to the HO and make an adaptor plate to go from the 3 bolt mount to the 4 bolt mount,...
