Thanks man! I was going to go with the G-Link at first, but after pricing everything out I decided not to for now. I could get all new rear suspension parts including the 1" drop leafs, disc brake kit and piece my nine inch together for less then the G-link alone.

I think it will be fine for what the car is at the moment. Do you have any pictures of your set up? Just curious as to how the car sits.

I finished the 9" swap and I couldn't be happier. Unfortunately I don't have an "before-after, in progress" pictures on this computer so these will have to do

Not much to report, but I did a few things to the stang while on break from college. Was able to get my signed glove box door and the new valve covers installed. They are the S/T valve covers from Cobra Valley, I was having some issues with the height of my roller rockers.
