Re: Mustang II IFS Ride Quality VS S10 Swap
with you there LG. I have recommended to a few guys just starting out that they should start small. don't fully strip down the truck unless they have the room, have the tools, have the time and also have the money. if it is gonna be a "drive while you work on it" project then do stuff that can be done in a weekend or a week. try not to get in too deep at one time because that can make a huge work list and then it becomes overwhelming. get a plan that makes sense and try to stick to it. there are lots of guys that went down the slippery slope of "might as well do this other thing while its apart". if it's a driver already, and you want a MII installed, then start by a good cleaning of the work area on the truck, then lube up all the nuts and bolts that will need to come apart so they can soak for a day or two, get a work space and storage area set up prior to the date for work and think through the process of how it will come apart, where the parts taken off will go before they need to go back on, get jacks, stands, blocking etc ready. line up some help if you can. read through the instructions a few times so you fully understand how the new parts are supposed to go together. research a little on how IFS works so you have an idea how it shoud look. check a few similar builds to see how it was done and what problems were encountered. decide on the rake angle and even mock up the truck beforehand so you know you have enough blocking and stands etc.
not trying to discourage anyone, just advising not to bite off more than you can chew.
