Draglink bracket – bolts onto your oem draglink to relocate the inner tierod end to minimize bumpsteer
Tie Rod Assemblies – integrates with your new steering arms and centerlink to provide a tru "no fab" bolt on steering system.

from ridetechs website


if they say 5.75 and you are at 6.1 then a 5/16" spacer will get you damn close that or a 3/8th spacer

3/8th spacer will net you a 5.725 backspacing position. if you get those 1/2 spacers then you would be at 5.6" backspacing
I was I thinking a 3/8" spacer but wasn't sure.

Stiff springs and single adjustable shocks will be a big help.
The only place that is suspect is that upper control arm. Not sure of the spring rate. Set up for sbc and single adjustables.
