Nope.
In the front I've got a AJE kit with a manual rack and pinion. Its basically just tubular lower control arms and a "half" coilover setup like the late 60s GM cars use from QA1 with double adjustable shocks. 15x5 Bogarts with 28xsomething Goodyear front runner.
In the rear I have some DJM hangers, with hotchkis springs. The bars are the LightningForce Performance long bars, rancho knockoffs. I'm running single adjustable QA1s on the back for now. I am running 29x11.5x15 M/T ET Drags but they are for sale (8 passes) because I want something with a stiffer sidewall.
Now that I've spit all that out, I gotta know more about yours!
I went to Furo's site to check out the truck, its NASTY! By chance are you going to bring it to WFC?

Great looking truck Frank. Thats really running hard!!!! 
The complete truck an suspension was all done in house at Furo Racecraft. Its all stock suspension with M&H tires on the rear. The best 1/8 mile is 7.50 @ 90.52 when the trans expired at about the 1000 foot mark.
Now dont forget this is a 1 TON DIESEL with the frame shortened an made into a shortbox. If you have any questions feel free to PM me or call the shop.

Thanks. I'm anxious to get the chassis dialed in a little more and get it down the 1/4. Hopefully in a couple weeks I'll get it down to Shreveport, Louisiana to make a few passes.
Awesome. Whats the specs on the motor... Thats what I want to know. My towpig could use some more guts, and relaible guts at that
As seen here in Ford Truck Performance mag (black '06 bottom pic)...

Looks like that tailwind was affecting the beams a little bit. I've had my burnout smoke do that before.
I bet you are stuck with 16s on that rear brake setup too arent you?
That thing launches hard. What are you guys going to do for a built 5R110?
