Default Almost there..

Ive spent the past few weeks gathering up parts for my LXand this is what I bought:
-New Ford Racing Tranny crossmember
-King Cobra Clutch
-Smog Delete Kit
-A/C Delete kit
-Ford Racing 4.10s and rebuilt Traction lok
-Ford Racing upper control arms
-Lakewood "Tracion Action" lift bars/lower control arms
-Ford Racing Drag springs (with the airbag)
-Lakewood 50/50s

Ive spent most of today putting it all back together and all I have left is the lowers and the springs with the airbag. Im not putting the front springs on yet because I cant decide between Strange adjustable struts or Lakewood 90/10s. I know this thread is worthless without pics and Ill take some tm if I can get this thing back together. Does anyone have any tips on installing the lower lift bars or about the airbag (Ive never used one before)? Anything to look out for?Thanks

is this a DD or just a drag car? I have HEARD that the 90/10s arent that great for the street, if so, either get the 70/30s or the strange adjustables

yeah that's what they say.....but to tell you the truth I have 50/50 on the rear and 90/10's on the front and it actually rides quite well on the street..not bad at all
