Re: Help with mustang 2 and ride height options

Full tilt should have known what springs to send out for a TF 55-59 3100 truck. I'd take them up on the offer of new springs. My springs rode high for a year, don't modify anything until the full weight of your fully assembled truck is on them for at least a year.

Agreed 100% there, don't do a bunch of parts swapping until you get a few miles on it. Over the years I have seen a lot of almost new parts for sale because someone jumped the gun and stuck on pieces that they later decided were the wrong pieces.

Sometimes we don't need "perfect" when it comes to front suspension geometry as long as it will align right and drives great. You might loose a few tenths on an autocross course or go though the local twisties a tad slower but you probably won't notice the difference running down the long wide roads at the speed limit.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
