Springs: RR 150 LR 200 RF 750 LF I use OEM cut to height needed
Shocks: rear, napa part #94079
Struts: LF OEM 4 cyl. RF OEM mustang GT 5.0 strut.
Get a RF LCA from an 87-88 Tbird its a direct bolt on part.
This is exactly what I run on mine and it handles great, high or low line, dont matter.
If you haven't put cage in yet, stitch weld a piece of 2" box tube on top of the rocker box, from wheel well to wheel well, then weld cage posts and downtubes to this. Way better than welding plates to floor pan, if rules allow.
I run LF oem 4 cyl Replacement strut and a 600 lbs on the RF a 70/30 drag strut for the 5.0 fox body mustang and a 650lbs on the LR i run 150 lbs and a 125 lbs on RR with carerra 50/50 shocks on both
lf 500-650 rf 650 to 750 rr 100 to 150 lr 175 to 250 i would go with monroe blue struts and yellow shocks work really good pretty much what dirtman said to a T
i have a lca from a 87-88 t-bird if anyone needs one.
