I know that I do read, just pointing the obvious as well....after all I am a smart ****

 

Leaf over on a classic mustang is essentially mentally equivilant for many people to saying you want to do this



Because the leaf over is the old school tried, true, and trusted method of gaining additional ground clearance on the cheap in your solid axle 4x4. Interestingly enough in recent years with the sport truck lowering crazy, the reverse has become popular with axle flips used to lower the truck considerable.

 

wow, that actually looks cool, best 74-80's model mustang i have seen

 

Instead of raising your rear so much, how about raise it only the 1 1/2" and lower the front 1" with 620 springs?

 

because....I just changed ALL of the front suspension when i had the engine out and the engine bay repainted. put in new A Arms, bushings, shocks eveything, except springs<--- Because i felt it was already to low in the front, They may have been after market springs already or just sagging because of time but the top of the front tire is even with the lip of the fender. Most of the 71's i see are a little higher, or does the lowering springs tuck it up more in the front? -Jon

 

You have a Grande, right? They sit low from the factory. Here's a before/after with a 1" lowering kit on my Grande. Just get the standard eye springs or have a shop like Inland Truck Parts custom make you a pair of springs. Yes, the rims are different, but the tire height is the same.

Before:



After:

 

Nope, i have a fastback... and.. i already got the 1.5 inch higher leaf springs for Xmas, just saw them in my dads office.

 

If you raise that Mustang's butt more, it will look like a stink bug going down the street. It is already too high IMO. I think this is the ride height you should be shooting for.

 

nice rims my buddy has those on his 66....dont have to worry about brake dust, or people seeing your old parts....easy to keep them clean too

 

im taking mine off! Throwing the 05 Mustang bullitts on the 71, Then ill see about the stance issue -Jon
