The "eBay CJ!" (2010 Mustang CJ 352 Build)

Where the upper control arm mounting bracket bolts we reinforced the floor on the inside of the car. We could not get our DA Strange front shocks loose enough so we put some Santuff front springs in and it helped the weight transfer. Also Calvert did make some parts for the front lower control arms. Looking good.

What springs did you go with? I did a tubular K swap and front coil over conversion on my 85GT over the winter and it doesn't feel like it is transferring weight as well as you would think it should. I'm running 175lb springs and Strange struts.
Thanks.

Mike @ MPR got me the Strange DA Struts and springs, 14" x 125LB

Another piece of the puzzle is this clutch linkage fabbed by Mike @ MPR, it is based on a Brad Zaskowski design that was built for George Wright. Any CJ racers needing one can contact Mike.
