    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.
