Some of the kits say "due to the narrow frame rails on your vehicle, you will need to C notch the drivers side for the power rack to clear."
Again SOME of their auctions say you need to, some don't. At first I thought it was a spindle thing but there is no rhyme or reason.
I called and the dude had no clue and said he would get back to me. When he called back he said yeah to be safe I would need to notch it.
Does anyone have any experience with this kit in particular? I'm going with the 2"drop spindles and power rack. Even if not this kit the geometry should be about the same as another.
Thanks!

I do this on all mods regardless of what I have read. Too many variables between applications, as well as too many, "I always heard you was sposed to do it thataway."

Make sure you check the feedback on that dealer and their parts before ordering. I've heard of guys having issues with the quality of offshore Mustang kits. That was one reason I went with the Heidts and it was really a good deal. (It was on EBAY also) | | |
