Did you know that Speedway has a bolt in IFS for the AD ?

Heidts superide II is a nice setup much nicer than a standard mustang 2 in my opinion. With that price you might want to also checkout Scotts IFS also. You could also look into Flatout Engineering's Vette crossmember that allows you to bolt on vette components. If I had to do it again thats the route I would have gone because you can do that one for about the same price as a Mustang 2.

Not sure which brand i will choose but just wanted feedback on any and all manufacturers (ie quality, ride, installation,replacement parts availabilty)?

We used the speedway motors bolt in kit and it was a breeze to install. I like its quality and it is well built!

You would first have to decide how low/high you want your truck to ride and then factor in the wheel/tire combo as tire height has some effect on it.

I don't think that most crossmember manufactures vary much on the distance from the lower A arm bolts to the bottom of the frame rail but that distance is going to be the ride height factor from one kit to another. The theory being that the lower control arms will be level across at static ride height if installed correctly. That is what you want to ask about when contacting the various vendors about their product though.

Word to the wise, don't bite off and buy a "universal" kit because it costs less unless you are hell for good at fitting and have plenty of patience. I have one and it is a bit of a challenge to figure out where to cut it to get it to fit right. As soon as I have the Cad 500 in my 71 and have it running and driving so I can haul the frame to the sandblaster and haul parts around I am going to seriously attack it.
