[kilog55]

i imagine its in the upper single digit thousands. if its too much anyone have before and after pics of bolt on drops? is 3" that noticable or not really

alote of things factor in. how? what your going to use front and rear. who? are you doing it or you paying someone?

[kilog55]

probly DYI not too many shops around me. whatever is safest and retains drivability

[customcrewcab]

well safe for driving i would go with a 4 bar in the back. i have ladderbars beacuse i want to hook up with a turbo stroked small block. i would do a mustang II under the frount. think the cross memeber was 500 to 600. they have tubular arms and spindles new on ebay pretty cheep. i think you will be happier with it in the long run.

You can always just get the crossmember for the Must. II and use wrecking yard parts from a donor Must. II to put it together for now. Then, as you can afford, you could upgrade to tubular arms, dropped spindles, etc. That's how I did the Must. II on my '56. Those complete hub-to-hub kits DO cost a fortune and even more if you start adding on options. Try giving Fatman Fabrications a call. I'm sure they're a little more now and I don't know what they cost for a bump but I paid about $380 for my crossmember kit many years ago.
