    I liked the idea of the Mustang II coil overs but looking at your work I think it would need some radical upper spring tower/shock mount surgery. If it came down to literally lopping the whole thing off, I'd try to figure out a way to make the upper control arm adjustable so the camber could be dialled in. There are prefabricated upper spring/shock mounts that can be welded in, but getting the camber right...

    By the way - nice work with your truck

    I am not certain I want to cut the upper spring pocket off the frame and build something new to fit. Perhaps in the future, if I did that then I would change it to a design where the upper spring mount is on the coilover itself like a traditional strut design instead of sitting in a pocket on the frame. I feel it would give more options for coilover setups. In the past I have made a fwd hatchback into an AWD chassis, it took a lot of measuring but everything passed the alignment and I am not sure I want to do that much again.

    Thanks, glad someone other than me likes it haha
