How much Drop?

With the mustang II front end, how much does it drop the front of the truck verses the stock front suspension? Pondering weather or not to use standard spindles or drop spindles on my 1950 pro street build.

Thanks,
Rob

Re: How much Drop?

depends if your using a drop spindle. with a 2" drop spindle it should drag the frame or your transmission which ever is lower... my transmission is 1/8th of an inch off the ground with the air let out. i'm sure i could go lower with some shock mods but why!

I am going to be running 26" tall front tires, 29" tall Mickys in the rear. I don't want the front on the ground, but I want that classic hot rod rake.
