Sounds like there is a lot of work to do. But it is so nice to get parts from someone when you know where they came from and for you Eric, you know who built the motor. So cool guys.

Eric,
I installed a HRParts ARB on my '70 Malibu years ago...was probably one of the first to do so on a Chevelle.
I did not use a front sway bar although that car was more setup for straight line performance than running an obstacle course. Handling on the street/highway was fine.
However, that ARB does make for a rougher/stiffer ride on the street...

MAKE SURE you get a Grand Cherokee steering box...NOT one that a "fits all" replacement. Big difference.

Yeah, I did quite a bit of looking around on TC and found quite a few of your posts from 06 & 07 talking about it. I don't mind the stiffer ride really because it is pretty floaty as it is.
