Are you after straight-line traction, or road handling?
For straight line traction, tubular lower control arms (LCA's) and LCA relocation brackets, tubular panhard rod. Which "ends" you need (rubber, polyurethane, rod ends, combos of these) will be determined by how you use the car. Sticky tires are the first key component.
4.10's with a manual tranny will always be difficult to hook on street tires.

injuneer is correct but i would start out with relocation brackets and a set of drag radials and take it from there. i was having a hard time getting a set of 28x10.5 m/t slicks to hook on the street in vht and a lot of fresh rubber. welded up some relocation brackets and lowered the control arms on them.... and damn was it a night and day diffrence!!!!
