What IFS did you use?
I have a 54 with a Heidts IFS And the stock mustang lower and upper a-arms. with a stearing rack off of a 89 mustang was curious as to what you used for tierods and if you had to bye a space for i9t to be long enough.
I was going to get dropped spindles but am curentlly debeting on airbags. But I dont really want to notch the bed for the rear end.
Have lots of questions if You can be of some help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks Trey
