can anyone tell me how they put weight jack bolts on the front of a fox body mustang. the frame rail is right above top spring mount and i dont think you should cut into frame. any info would be greatly appreciated.

can anyone tell me how they put weight jack bolts on the front of a fox body mustang. the frame rail is right above top spring mount and i dont think you should cut into frame. any info would be greatly appreciated.
ive seen it done from under the a arm than you could use rear spring
Bore through the frame and weld in 1 1/2 tube the box around where you cut. Mine never gave me any problems doing it that way. Weld the plates to the K-Frame for the bolts and cut a hole in the strut tower. took me about 4 hours to do it and it worked fine and never bent.
that is just how we did it and it looks great and i think will work even better. thanx for the info great help!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

On the LF i simply drill between the 2 bolts that attach the K-member to the frame rail,the factory already was kind enough to put in a 1" crush sleeve,i simply weld my jack nut to the top of that sleeve and the sides of the frame rail. on the LF dont forget to take a grinder,plasma,torch,whatever and remove the spring "crown" from the K-member so the spring cup doesnt bottom out.
same thing for the rears,get it to ride height and cut out the stock spring pocket and weld the jack assembly so the spring is straight up and down.
I have the longer lca on now and not a big fan going back to stock a arm and going to use camber plates and camber bolts thanks for the pics
We could not change spring location or use the longer arm so that was the only way to do it. Worked great. Dont know if the way I do it is the way you call lazy or not but it fit the rules I had to go by and worked perfect. One thing I did forget to say was to cut the crown off the K-frame.
was not trying to put you down...didnt know thats what the rules allowed.
i really dont know why you can call someone lazy and stupid when he is trying to help someone with how he did it. if you have a different way of doing it then you are welcome to post it. but just because its not your way does not make it stupid and doing his way it still took me about 4 or 5 hours and he said it took him about 4 hours also, so i do not know how that is lazy. actually it takes a great deal of work. i would like to thank headhunter for all his info as it was a great help. it is to bad people cant just try and help without being so sarcastic. our rules are just like his, everything has to be in stock location.Quote:
