So I got my Lakewood shocks and struts installed over the weekend. It's hard to tell what exactly the diffrence is for me atleast because this is my first 5.0 and my stockers we're shot big time, so going over bridges seemed to be a rougher ride than being in a boat on choppy water. Regardless I still love them and the smooth ride. As for the next question I have an exhaust leak on my passenger side so I figure I'll just go ahead and buy a set of headers and get some mufflers. Which headers should I go with though? Longtubes or short? I'm also wanting to plan ahead for future use too so I don't have to buy another set of headers unless I absolutely got too. I plan on buying a set of thumper heads once I get other maintenance on my car completed. But I was wondering if the thumperheads and stock 5.0 heads have the same bolt pattern and such. Thanks in advance guys.
