Hey fordtruck :thup: do you know what was done to the front end to lower it?
My friend is almost done with one of his customers unibody that is dropped flat on the ground with a mustang 2 setup. I'll snap a few pictures when I get a chance and post them on here.

Wow those front springs are pretty Flat. Bet that thing Eats Bump Stops for breakfast! :evil:

Looks Cool though. :wink:

Wo! just noticed the last pic...That's a pretty radical C-notch! Isn't that a bit Too Deep?!...Even if he does Box the rear frame rails?
:hmm: I thought I heard you shouldn't cut more than 1/2 the thickness of the frame? (even if you Box it).

.....One of you chassis guys set me straight on this

Here is a new one. I did only a 1 1/4 inch drop on the front, and most people won't even notice. It will still look stock to them but the handling is GREATLY improved and I think the look also.

Here is a link to the post on how I did it.
