Thanks, guys.
I can tell you right off the bat I've got 3 main goals:
1) Transmission.
I'd love to make this my daily driver (after all, they're here to be driven). But I drive 60mi a day roundtrip, at 70mph on the interstate. I'd also need to be able to tow a 3000lb boat with it. Not sure if the C4 is the best setup for that (if C4 is even what i have in there). Ive seen so many transmission options, I'm hoping there's a tranny/Tcase combo out there that will let me do these two things. Trail riding is not a priority.
2) Brakes. Need power discs. I have to stand on the pedal with these drum brakes.
3) Suspension/tires. Hoping not to get crucified by the group, but I want to take the truck down a bit. Maybe take the 3" body lift off and go down to 33" or 35" that are more street-suited. I suppose the good news is that I have lift & 14.50 Thornbirds to trade...
If any of these aspirations are unrealistic, let me know. I'm making this up as I go - but it seems like there are a bunch of magicians in this group who can figure out how to make anything happen...
