Default v6 performance options.... and leveling kit options

ok i have decided on what direction i want to run on the truck after much needed questions and a little bit of research

anyway i have decided to keep the truck v6 and i want to level it out and eventually body lift... nothing too gnarly cause it is a 2wd

anyway i cannot find a damn leveling kit made for this damn truck to save my life so maybe yall can help me can i just use a universal rubber coil spacer if so how thick would i need to go and would i need a top and bottom spacer for both coil springs??


also is there any performance parts out there for the v6 by way of header and cams and whatnot?? its not a big priority but i would eventually like to pep it up a lil bit maybe even rebuild the v6 just trying to see what kind of support is out there


anyway thanks for the help and especially thanks for answering all my stupid damn question in a nice and timely manner lmao

For cams, hughesengines.com has a few for the v6. For the lift, FAQ2 is a good source, but the general consensus is to go with a single 2 inch coil spacer or two 1 inch coil spacers, one above the spring and one below it.

now thats what i thought wasnt positive tho


i found a set of headers on hughesengines.com but they say they are for 87-91 will they still bolt on the magnum motors?? they were listed under the magnum engines section... i sent them an email.. they were priced very well i will probably order them if they do fit
