that does work for the older fords but i don't see why you couldn't put a 1 1/2 inch spacer in the spring pocket as long as the a-arms not being bolted or chained down nothing should brake and will still be able to bounce just my thoughts

I was think about a spacer also. It has struts not just coils so I was thinking about leangthing the studs that hold it in and spacing it down in the pocket it sits in. Even when I jack the car up it only goes a couple inchs and the tire lifts off the ground. Tom

Well I didn't win anything today had tranny problems in the 01 ended up 5th I guess. Then went out in a really tough heat with the 03 was doing well but must of missed a temp sensor so it ran a little crappy once hot. I got to about 5th with a pretty good car still and a kid hit me front to front I cleared him and got hung I thought. Found out later hit shut his car down when we hit because I was hitting him to much. I told him what I thought of him after the derby and he's got a surprise coming fair time. Tom
