So...I'm probably old school as I prefer to keep my truck ride height close to stock. Will be using the Flatout C4 IFS in my 57. Plan to keep the stock rear leafs and camaro rear for now, "I like the ride height". The standard placement of the crossmember would drop the front too low, about a 5" drop. Don at Flatout
suggested that by mounting the crossmember 1" lower on the frame and coilover adjustments can add back 2" of ride height. A 3" drop works for me. Has anyone tweaked the ride height of the C4 Flatout IFS ? Is anyone using the original rear suspension with the Flatout IFS?
