zlathim 09-15-2009, 02:15 PM Who masked that thing for you? Helen Keller?
HEAVY METAL 09-15-2009, 02:17 PM this is the kit i am using. i am a distrubuter for S&R CUSTOMS. this kit is very well designed and comes with complete instructions. I used shocks for a 91 crown vic and moog camber bolts. ( which arnt included in the kit).

stock rear suspension..

i also picked up a set of 4dr tracker coils. my theory on this is higher spring rate equals higher payload for bumpers and such.
4dr coils are on the right..

lol you cant see the black masking tape that i used as the base...:flipoff2:
HEAVY METAL 09-15-2009, 02:22 PM you must remove upper spring pad and reinstall onto new spacer. i used urethane too glue the uypper spacer in so no rattles down the road.
