Looking for what type of wheel stud and lug nuts are the best route to go with the Draglites on the car??

Upgrades will begin this Wednesday. Have these torque box reinforcements, front springs and struts ready to go to the fab shop with her. Will also begin looking at 31 spline upgrade. Keeping the stock 8.8 rear end. C-clip eliminators are a must as well.

We found some pretty crappy workmanship on the cage, so having it removed and a new chromoly cage built. Just ordered the Strange 35 spline axles with c-clip eliminators and full spool.

I suggest you just go to "new style" 9" ends and even cut 3 or 4 inches off each side...
Weld in or bolt on gussets for the axle tubes so you don't toast your pinion.

Throw the clip elims in the trash.

Might as well do it right the first time since you're already at the build time frame?

Just my experience posting here, not being an ass.
