Would that be the same with air ride shocks?
Basically your suspension is going to perform best with the a-arms in their ideal position at rest. Once you do
anything that moves out of that position at rest you can assume you'll have less than ideal performance unless you know enough to make changes for the better.
Suspension is complicated, and the more sophisticated, like the Corvette, the more compicated it is. You need to make sure the a-arms are mounted correctly in all three axis to make the suspension movement right.
Then the steering gets complicated too... A line drawn through the center of the ball joints through the ground ideally intersects the ground at the center of the contact patch. Once you change ride height, back spacing or even tire size, you have changed that relationship. Getting that one right affects steering effort, turning performance and tire wear.
And then mounting the various steering components in the wrong relationship is likely to lead to bump steer, meaning that when your wife hits a bump her truck turns. Not likely to be pleasant.
Small changes do not usually cause huge differences but once you start adapting a suspension from one type of vehicle to another if you don't have a good understanding of the issues you are likely to end up with big changes.
While the Corvette suspension swap is not real common on these trucks, other suspension swaps are. If you read the threads where people talk about them, you'll find there are not many that are actually on the road daily after a backyard suspension swap.
I'm not a fan of the Mustang II kits, but the better ones probably offer the best chance of success in this kind of modification. I say that because they have been road tested a great deal, and enough people have done it you can get good advice.
You've done the right thing asking if others have done this one, and ideally you'll find someone who has before proceeding. I would encourage you to get a first hand look at some finished trucks before moving ahead, and learning from the owners about their experience and satisfaction.
You've done the right thing by starting with research before making the modifications. Keep asking questions and looking for the right experts. I am not the expert you really need, I'm just another guy trying to figure out a different suspenion swap and I'm beginning to get a headache trying to understand the questions. I sure don't have all the answers for my own swap yet.
I do own a Corvette and the car is a joy to drive because of the way it handles. A truck that felt the same would be fun. My bet is the closer that suspension is to set up the way Chevy put it under the Corvette the happier you will be with it.
