jag ifs

[pugs]

i did a search and no other threads on this subject so i thought id tho this out to all the budget builders. i did alittle searching on other forums and i decided to go with a jag clip in my non chevy, 1960 dodge truck. now the the questions will be is price? (the clip itself rebuild parts and what have ya) i got my clip at the local u-pull it for $100. sometimes by looking on CL or ebay you mite be able to find a whole car for a decent price, and they have a nice irs system also. main rebuild parts, bushing, balljoints and such are about the same in price as anything else you have to rebuild, but the steering rack is abit spendy. a key thing is nice they have the same 4.75 wheel bolt pattern as a chevy, but part of the hub will have to be machined down alittle to clear a standard chevy wheel (around .060 from what i read).
now the years that are best are the like from 70-86 xj's. track width is 59"+/. the jag clip is a bolt on and rubber isolated, about 30" +/- on the outside mounting of the clip. which you can install it the same way on your stock frame or trim the crossmember down and weld it in or weld brackets to bolt in solid. either way you go with you mite have to do alittle trimming on the stock front crossmember of your frame. with my stock frame it does have a slight up and down and in and out frame rails (similar to the 60 and up chevy truck frames). now i have in place with with welded brackets and bolted in but not totally done yet, i need to set the cab and front clip back on to see if i like where its sitting at as far as height. but at this point i have about a 4-5" drop with out all the body and m/t weight. so a few pics for now ( sorry not the best tho) but gives ya the idea of the clip in my frame.
any ?'s i will try to help out the best i can.
