Re: New 3 Link Suspension, 9" Ford straight rear conversation

Yea we ended up cutting the car up a little more than I intended.

Notched the frame rails because the front lower control arm/link brackets were so wide.... which were so wide to match the ones on the axle housing... you know so everything could use the same bolts, heim spacers, ect.

The package tray deck is going to have to be raised up about 3" to clear the upper link during suspension travel. So had to cut that out as well.... once I put the carpet and storage box doors (just cosmetic) back in place you'll never know.

Lot of work. Definitely not for the feint of heart. I think its going to be worth it.

Edit to add.

The rear wheels and tires are the same 15X10 with 6.5 back space and MT 28X10.5 slicks that I used with the IRS. We may try a 275/60R15 radial later in the season.
