Depends on how much room you have in the fender well. My front tires were rubbing due to the old spring/shock being lifeless. Now it has a nice stance with my current tires, and also gives meroom to plus size the wheels and tires.

 

Do you have any pictures of the work in progress, or with the tire off when complete?

As far as lowering goes, I suppose you could just grind some of the spring off. heh

 

Theonly pictures I took during the rebuild are of the old stuff (in case I forgot how to put her back together). I could probably crawl under the car this weekend and take some though.

 

If you want, sure, but I'm not going to make you do that. It'd be kinda nice to see a before and after shot of the front suspension.

As far as taking pics incase you forget how to put it back together... that's how I am on things I'm uncertain of!

Was the front and rear simple or hard to do? What was your timeframe for front and for back?

 

Here are before and after of the whole car, and I will get the pics of the components this weekend for you.


Before:



and After:

 

How long did it take you to complete the front and the back? Was it hard or simple, just time consuming?

 

I had never done suspension work before, but I had a Haynes manual, a mustang restoration book, and a buddy willing to help. Doing the work wasnt hard really at all. The book made it very simple and shows you how to do it in a logical sequence. It took about a month trying to work around my wife and daughters schedule and work. The worst and hardest part of the whole thing was removing the front bolt out of the leaf spring. Almost everyone who does it has horror stories about it. Total PITA!!!!

 

I just got my Chilton manual in the mail the other day and forgot about looking in there but it's in there, so it shouldn't be so bad. A month huh? Probably the same for me, working around my wife and daughter's schedule.

 

I could have cut a few days, maybe a week off, but there was beer to be drank And the leaf bolts killed about 3 days between getting pissed and quittingandfinding new tools to try on them.
