I'll second that, and you might give removing the PS some serious reconsideration.  Lack of PS is one reason I sold my '84, it was literally a pain in the neck.

My only thought on thus is that the springs are 30 yrs old if original and have probably sagged some. I thought go westy sold new ones that were taller than standard

The OE springs have alost 300k on them, so buying the 85 springs off ebay seemed like the logical thing to do.  Are there any additional suspension/alignment changes that need to take place when I add these springs??  I'm also going ot swap the PS rack for a manual duringthe same procedure and replace the upper ball joints, so an alignment is pretty much a given.

TIA
