Re: mustang II front suspensions.....
What advantage does a MII bring to our trucks?

Re: mustang II front suspensions.....
Plus there is the fact that the MII suspension was designed for a small car with a 4cylinder engine and more than 1000lbs less total weight.
Personally, I have never been a fan of that front suspension set-up under any kind of big car either. By the time you "up-grade" everything, the cost has gotten a litte crazy too. The money would be much better spent on the stock suspension.

Re: mustang II front suspensions.....
All good points, i was just wondering mostly on the rack side of it. seems like you eliminate alot of linkage when using rack and pinion. I guess that is why porterbuilt is so successful with his kit. keeps all the truck stuff and gets rid of all the linkage.

Re: mustang II front suspensions.....
If you don't care about handling or a smooth ride on rough roads then get one.I would keep what you got get better a arms.Flaming river has a rack and pinion kit for the 73-87 trucks you might be able to make it work with yours.Or i think porterbuilt c4 member you can use coilovers on.
