No Limit Engineering "Wide Ride" IFS (based on 2nd series Camaro design). Should drop the frontend down about 6", then taking out one leaf in the back and adding lowering shackles to drop the rear around 4". Also replacing the stock rear axle with a Ford 9" rear end.

Hey Resin Addict, what's the track width of your front suspension? Or even the inner or outer width of your frame rails? Thanks, Jared

Question Track width

I believe the track width is 62", The frame rails are the stock '59 Apache rails.
