Sorry for the rapid fire questions, I'm doing a static drop in the rear without the coilovers and I'm trying to understand what I can expect.
No Problem. Yes I have a C notch, custom welded in one ,not a bolt on. I can change the ride height about 3 - 3 1/2 inches. Measuring from top of wheel well to ground I’ve gone from 29” down to 26” I settled for 27” in front and 27 1/2 in rear.
Where the truck sets now is where it sat with 2 inch spindles and 1 inch drop spring in front and 5 inch drop springs in the rear
Hope that makes since

Re: Coil Overs are here

So I ordered the QA1 sway bar for the rear after asking if it will work with a Ford 9” and they said “YES it will , no problem “ only to find out NO it will not work. Chevy Axle tubes are 3 “ all the way to the 3rd member Ford tapers down from 4- 3 so the bushing will not line up to mount the sway bar. Long story short either I figure something out or someone is going to get a Great Deal on a Rear QA1 rear sway bar. It cost me $380

Re: Coil Overs are here

All fixed. Massaged the brackets to fit the housing and welded them on. WOW what a difference
