      We don't manufacture anything for that application unfortunately.

      On a happy note, Hellwig makes some nice sways for a Pro Tour style unit.

      I would suggest doing a 4/6 drop first. Add a rear sway bar if not equipped and run that for a while. That's all I did to my '95 and it is like a slot car on the road.

      A good set of wheels and tires will get you going in the right direction also. I don't think you have to cut up the suspension to get a good handling street truck.

      We've sure done lots of trucks over the years.

      These trucks [like most] are tall and heavy, but they can still be made to corner quite well.

      Bret, how long before you will have something for the '07 and later GMs?
