As stated in the title, I Have an '81 custom deluxe, I want to replace the suspension parts on the truck with heavy duty parts, especially the springs (both rear leaf and front coil) and the shock absorbers. However, as a mechanic I have only replaced parts in cars that are oem and have no Idea about aftermarket parts, Any help would be awesome, about any suspension parts really, I want to upgrade the engine eventually and I would like the whole shebang.
