Thank you for your time | | | | | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 434 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 434 | To me what made the most sense was an aftermarket independent front suspension. Easier than putting a clip on in my opinion, and you end up with all new parts. Heidts, TCI, Fatman's, most of the larger hot rod suspension houses carry them.

It really is pretty easy to do ,if your able to do basic welding, and will give you about a 7 inch drop.
