Got gears, what should be next?

Recently got our 3.73s, Eaton posi, 31-spline axles installed. My son was asking what should be the next step for traction - upper/lower control arms, springs, shocks. I'm sure we're headed down the path of changing all - what would you suggest should be first to do that will give us the biggest bite for the buck?

We also need better rubber as the cheapo hard-rubber tires spin,spin, spin.

BULL BULL BULL...... you can't put a cam heads and intake with SPEED DESITY either, or all of you children will be born nakid..

Mine rides better than almost any other car I have ever riden in. I get compliments all the time about how someone thought it would have a bad ride because it's a "Race Car" Mine has a better ride than my wifes 99 cougar. It is soft and floats like a town car.

Get a set of 4cyl springs (all 4) install poly bushings in the rear arms $80.00, and a set of lakewoods (70s or 90s, your choice)
