Mustang 2 clip with shockwaves on a 53

[Slmd92DIME]

I am building a 53 for a guy and he ordered the mustang 2 clip with shockwacves and 2 inch spindles.. i was wondering how low this clip will let the truck go.. he wants the running boards on the ground.. i have a dead line and would just like to get a better idea of what im goign to have to do to get it flat on the ground.. any help is appreciated!

You're going to have to Z the front frame rails to get the board brackets on the ground.

Overall tire height will be 27 inches or so... Zin will not be a problem.. do you know how many inches? I am trying to get a good game plan before starting.

You will probably have to do a bit of preassembly checking to see where the front end is going to set assembled and how the frame will set in relation to that.

If it is a "universal" crossmember you can raise it up in the frame a bit to get it lower pretty easy.

I never could understand the broken truck look to get it to lay out on the ground but I'm old and don't seem to get a lot of things these days.

I have M II with stock spindles and air bags frt and rear had to step notch the rear and boards are about 1/4 off ground. Had 2" drop spindles but the front crossmember hit the ground.
