I see whatyou mean.
 What if you would roll the crossmember forward a few degree, keeping it in the same place front to back but rolling it forward, that would decrease the kpi a little, If im thinking correctly. I dont know what that would do to the steering geometry, or ride quilty but it might be an option. IF it would work. I neverr really thought about it that much before but now you have me thinking. I guess a mustang II front suspension is always an option but I know I dont want to drop the money If I can think about long enough and make something work and work well. Well if you come up with something let me know as will IL8r

Ive got a 10" notch that extends forward to clear the trailing arms, bags mounted about 8-10" ahead of original spring perches. sorry for the crappy pics, only pics i have of it right now from my phone.

You do not want to roll the crossmember. The arms are set up on an angle for anti-dive. I moved my crossmember up. But I have a 63 so mine is not as noticeable as 67-72.

Re: Laying frame on a 67
XXL,... The easiest way I can figure out,... is to make your "Z" cuts on a 45 degree angle. That way when you raise the crossmember frame section up,... it will also move forward. (ie 1.5" up = 1.5" forward) If you need to go up MORE than you go FORWARD,... that will require a different angle.
