    wanting to get my truck setting on the running boards with the air down. Can this be done using a mustang 2 suspension or do i need to use a s/10 frame ?

    I have a mustang II on my 55 ford and iam using stock spindles ..i have 2" drop spindles that i mocked the truck up with and decided not to run them and it lays the finder and running board on the ground ...iam using a triangular 4 link in the rear which i added some cups to left up the rear for more ride height.... ..

    Remember... if a bag goes down, do you want to grind your RB brackets off?

    I'd set it about 1.5" off the ground, then it'll look like it's flat on the ground when you park it in the gr***!! :D

    I'm about 1.5-2" off the ground but I set my snubbers there in case I blow a bag or a line. If you want to see the running boards on the ground look for threads by or PM MikeinTulsa, he had a sweet truck that layed out the boards. He did a mild Z in the front with the MII though and a step notch in back, maybe trimmed the running board mounts?
