I am installing a mustang II in my truck. Just want to see what looks good to make an educated guess. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 66 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 66 | My 37 sits pretty low in front. I'm very careful of curb stops. My front is a M2 I'll have to look up my tire size. Wheels are 15". I have to place my floor jack under the front fender and to jack up from the x member. Jack won't clear chin.

Wouldn't want any lower as speed bumps will scrape underside of bumper / rad chin. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | MII crossmember with 3" lowering block on the rear. Running 235's 15" ..... I just never like road sniffers  | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 6 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 6 | Alvin I like the way your truck sits. You guys all have great looking trucks. Alvin did you have to C notch the rear frame to lower 3 inches? I was thinking of lowering it 4 in the front and 3 in the rear. I don't think I will hit too many curbs. I will be using stock spindles. Also have stock mustang suspension I pulled in a junk yard. Need to make sure I can mount the strut OK. Another question did you change your spring from the stock one used in the mustang II ? I think I will go with the heavier one from Speedway . Thanks for your help everyone.
