SD Raised dropmember question

[energiesource]

So I was looking at a kit from suicide doors.com and i saw the front raised drop member kit. it says it uses a mustang rack and pinion steering system, but can you use a 67-72 steering column or do you need a mustang steering column?

i emailed them but no response.

You still use the 67-72 column. You will need to modify the shaft and add a u-joint-



Do some research in the suspension section. There are a gazillion posts there about the original "Dropmember" by Porterbuilt and the Dropped Crossmember by Suicide Doors.

You will need 2.) 3/4-36 x 3/4 DD Steering u-joints and 1.) 3/4DD steering shaft about 15 inches or so......just got my in for my Porterbuilt Dropmember which uses the Mustang II rack as well..

If you have personal experience with BOTH kits and have first-hand information that make one kit superior to the other, then by all means share it with us. But just saying "do some reading, then call so & so" is not really fair and partial advice to all concerned.

Excellent point.
I'll delete my post.

Keith has purchased several of my products, including DROPMEMBERS (plural). I would say he is perfectly qualified to suggest somebody call me.

One main difference between the two kits is that the Dropmember comes with installation instructions. The price is the same.

That's all fine and well Nate, but the original poster specifically ASKED about a different product all together thus my earlier reply.

Lolife99 was not responding to the original poster. He responded to energiesource with a valid point. He quoted exactly what his reply was toward. His post was valid, and certainly did not require you to chastise him.

Your post was reported as trolling. Do I need to quote the rules?

energiesource IS the original poster ...

My apologies to everyone as my post was not intended at a troll.
