aftermarket LCA's, LCA relo brackets, SFC's, torque arm.. thats about it.. panhard if you wanna complete the package.. you will hit 1.8's on any type of racing tire.. you should actually be in the 1.7's

Yea, I'm pretty sure the 10 bolts and 9 bolts had the same mounting location for the tq arms. Not positive, though.
I'd say LCAs and brackets, tq arm and PHB.

i think i will go with the Lca (already have Lakewood) LCA relocation brackets, and ph bar.....maybe new bushings for front suspension....torque arm will be final thing to do...besides it most expensive hopefully ill hook! btw V8Rumble let me know via PM if your torque arm will bolt on no problem
