X2. John literally has the most popular truck around for suspension and steering mods (67-87 Chevy). Just Google away John and you'll find whatever you desire. I've personally got a Lares 3 1/4 turn in my F100, and I love it. It'd be a little quick for some people, but I think it's just right being I have my truck set up more like a musclecar.
luckily here in SW Oklahoma the winters aren't to bad . a few snow days and ice storms but the car is in a garage and I don't take it out when its bad . gets driven on dry only days and have to check the weather 30 mins before I leave for work to see if I need to take the car or the pick up as the weather is very unpredictable . I feel for you guys that store your toys for months at a time .
