I wouldn't run a mustang 2 kit on anything that's not a straight axle even then id still pass on it.I have drove a few cars with them and didn't like the ride or handling.Anyone can make a crossmember like Nate's but the welds he lays down and all the time spent designing it so it don't ride bad or handle bad takes time trial and error.If i wanted my truck to lay frame he would be the first person I'd call.

Trial and error is the method that the Russians used to get into space. They would build rockets, strap a dog or person into it, and see if it worked. If not, they needed a new astonaut.

Real engineers shoot for trial and success! Front end geometry is well-defined, and with modern engineering tools the design should be right both on paper and on the truck.
