Re: Wing suggestions

S-281 Wing and dependant on your final objective I'd recommend H&R or FRPP Springs. Don't go any lower than 1.25" Front or 1" Rear unless you are ready to start changing out suspension parts.

Note: You can go lower; but handling, ride quality, and parts life will suffer.

I agree completely Nathan...........but I am gonna install new UCA and LCA's and new shocks and struts when the engine goes in.......

I don't think 1.25 is enough for the front of my 4X4 looking ride........

DAMN.....that bitch sets up high...............

...and your front control arms are below parallel with the ground. You "no-steering-wheel-turning" knuckle dragger.

For reference I have 1" Front and .75" Rear drop. There is a gap, but with the Cobra R's on its not real noticeable.
