I have a cage setting on the ground and I am wondering what ratio it is, and then what ratio I would need.

LS1 with .7 OD in a 5200 Lbs Kruzer

2.88
29 in tire
72 MPH = 1700 RPM

3.54
29 inch
72 MPH = 2075 RPM

3.08
29 inch
72 MPH = 1800 RPM

3.31
29 inch
72 MPH = 1933 RPM

I have a set of stock and a set of KYBs, the springs are sold apart from the shocks or as a set (which is cheaper).
I take from this thread http://forums.jag-lovers.org/av.php?1486598m28 that rear sway bars and thicker fronts may be a good idea as the spring will be overcome by the weight.

Thanks- That photo is NOT my car as my is in many small parts right now


Yes, I did want it easy and I know "custom" means 7 times as much money and 20 times the trouble, but that is not what I have been hearing with mounts like http://www.snowwhiteltd.com/products.htm - easy to locate- easy to do service in the years to come- that is what started this thought

   
The springs are way overkill! this is why I could just slap a 9in on that puppy (People with good leads on 9in contact me, as that may be a dirtty word here). 

The ZIM came with a 2 part shaft that was encloced and pretty cool I will try to recreate that set up

Are you really sure you want a 2.88 gear? 

You may be right with the gears- where to get gear sets or pumpkins?

This is a 5000 Lbs car with a rear track of 61.5 inches. The parts come from a 1987 Jaguar XJ6
I have NEVER done a rear end of any kind so it is rear easy to get over my head. I am not really looking for better performance or looks than the Jag offered, I was looking for a solid cool unit. I was going tp set this up in the jag cage, but the thought of replacing the mounts every few years and having to drop the unit for normal service items seems a bit of a pain.  So I read some on taking it out the cage and mounting like ( I have a link here that will not show)
-That brought me to the question of trailing arms and WOW do people like to argue about that ...

( I have a link here that will not show)

Anyway, I am looking for the nonflashy soultion that last- I fear poor handling forever because I tried to do too much. If you can hold my hand and make it all better cool - if I am better off ($, time, ect.) with a 9in Ford let me know... The front will be Jag

I know how to do NOTHING other what I have told you, assume comeplete dumb-dumb
Shock angle?
How To Set Pinion Angle?
How to get Ride height ?
Trailing Arm? Yes ? No
Where to buy all this stuff
What to check as I take it apart

THANKS FOR ALL HELP!
