Well it looks like i'll be headed down the same road as you are brad!, I've been checking out Art Morrison's Mustang II stuff as well as Jim Meyer's front suspension clips. I'm so far pleased with all I have seen from Air Ride Technologies, as there stuff seems to be top notch, especially there Mustang II control arms and shockwave brackets. I was just wondering where you go the upper shockwave brackets. Oh and also did the upper control arm mounts come with the morrison clip? One more... what's the width of the frame outside to outside? Thanks for all yor help! Brad

Jared

Jared it started out as a regular front clip for air bags. Morrison wouldn't build us one for the shockwaves as they don't build them that way. The upper airbag mount was removed. The lower control arms were ordered bare so they could be modified. Everything required for the shockwaves was built in the shop. The geometry is pretty impressive as it has very little negative camber when aired out. Upper and lower control arms were mounted by Morrison. I would have to measure the frame width next time I am over there.

Jared the lower control arms should be very strong. A machinest made the parts that look like tubes for the lower mounts. They extend though each side of the control arm and are welded on both sides. The setup should be just as strong as a plate welded across the control arm. If you are just running regular bags no of this would require any modification. Morrison sells the front completely set up for regular bags.
