Dan,

No problem.

Global West L2-CAT5 leaf springs
Global West S-13 Front coil springs
Global West upper control arms
Global West sub-frame connectors
ATS Tall Spindles
Bilstien Shocks
Hotchkis sway bars

Now...more importantly what would I change.

If I where to stay with leaf springs I would use the L3-CAT5 springs from Global West and a different front coil spring. One with a higher spring rate. The S-13's are great but I had to trim them to get the ride height I wanted and that caused a minor rub issue on big bumps at higher speeds. Also I do not like the Global West Sub Frame Connectors. I would use DSE or if I did stick with GW then I would recommend using the convertible ones. They do the exact same thing but route a bit different and don't block the spring pocket.

Any other questions??
