If you are trying to stay in between the stock frame rails with stock suspension or MustangII you have very few option. If it is a sub frame swap no problem
Using the stock set up is not one of them.
I tried every way. A few options.
1. Mount it high with brackets available. It hangs 17" to the passenger side and the inner fender will need cut
2. Mount low on drivers side and put a SERIOUS notch in the frame/cross member
3. Buy one of the few compact units on the market $$$
4. Roll the windows down
