just ordered dropmember

I just ordered a porterbuilt dropmember and tubular control arms. Is any one runningthe rackand pinion withiout power I so how is this done. I was told I could just put a breather on the hoses and it would operate. Also anyone got ideas for getting the rear on the ground with stock trailing ams. Will flipping the rear crossmember do it? Thanks

i know a guy running it with no power steering pump. But i dont remember seeing any type of air breather on his. for rear you could use raising blocks.
but you need larger you bolts.

Use a manual 79-93 mustang rack.
(not a power rack with no pump)
Dino does it on all of his trucks.

Re: just ordered dropmember

I would get the PorterBuilt trailing arms then. I am working on them myself. The stock arms are moving the axle forward and making the tire contact front of wheel well.
