I was wondering how low to go if you guys have pics of trucks that are lowered send me a link to pics and let me know how low from stock it is and what tire size to use. I am installing a mustang II in my truck. Just want to see what looks good to make an educated guess.

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.

My '40 is a M2 with 2" drop spindles, running 17" wheels. Wouldn't want any lower as speed bumps will scrape underside of bumper / rad chin.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

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.
