Taller upper BJ just makes the spindle 'taller'. A taller spindle gets you into the Camber curve quicker when the suspension compresses.

The Square set-up that they did the T/A rear clip was also a long to short conversion so they were cutting the frame in half anyway. Basically from the rear cab mount forward was 73-87 & from the front bed mount back was 67-72. I didn't see how they did the splicing so I'm not sure on specifics. I considered the T/A swap for my 74 before swapping it for my Dually. My plan was modding a 67-72 x-member. I had both OE & aftermarket so not sure what path it would have went (whichever was easiest/better fab wise).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
