you can leave the arms stock for now, and like a previous poster said upgrade the steering box! you can do the arms later, but for a daily driver the stockers are ok

^^^There's your answer^^^

If you wanted to take it up one more level, you could do uppers and lower along with a upgraded spindle later on. If it where me, I would look at upgrading the brakes at that time and adding discs to all four corners. That way you only have to take it apart once.

Taking the upgrades in stages will really make you appreciate the improvements and keep the car on the road... which is really what it's all about.

If low on funds you could always do the Jeep Grand Cherokee steering box. It will work on my car anyways, i assume it does on a 72 also.

As far as suspension i wouldn't dump my money into the ridetech shocks, there is no need for it if your just cruising around, i would lean more towards something like Bilstein HD shocks and SPC springs.

$350 for all four shocks http://scandc.com/new/node/677
$300 for springs http://scandc.com/new/node/104

bilsteins from the site you recommended are 89 each front and 99 each rear, our's are 125 each with a LIFETIME warranty??? If you want a non adjustable...I always recommend the upgrade to adjustable because not everyone's like of ride quality is the same, and IF you wanted to try SCCA, Goodguys, Optima, Motorstate, Run to the Hills, Run to Music City, Ohio Musclecar Challenge, Detroit Speeds Southern Slam, or any of the roughly 30 events our group has just adjust the shocks to the track event and be competitive.....
