Final ride hight? Thoughts?

[Bronco_77]

I've got my Vic ifs complete finally and ready to start on the 4 link in the rear. Can anyone give me a ruff idea of how much my front end will squat with motor trans and complete front end back on so I can have an idea of height to set the 4 link at. I'm planning on running a coyote and t45 5 speed. Thanks for any help.

About 5.5 inches of drop with a CV subframe. You did measure before chopping it up, right? To eliminate tire size differences, the measurement should have been taken from the CL of the wheel hub to the upper arch of the fender... not from the frame to the ground.

Yea I wrote it down but now I can't find the paper I wrote all my measurements on. I love how stuff just disappears. If anybody has just a ruff idea of how much motor trans and complete front end will squat it I think I could get the back close. I've thought about stacking weight on the front to squat it.

I cut the old rear out today and just have the new one setting under it with jack stands holding everything up but I think I've got it close to where I want everything. Going look at it for a few days and make sure then start on the 4 link.

Those civi wheels look good. I assume your using the CV rear end as well?? What 4-link are you using? It's been a few days..did you stop looking and get after it? Lol

Yea the wheels are just temporary to roll it round with. I actually went with a 82 f-100 rear end that I just got put back together with a eaton tru trac carrier and youkon 3.70 ring and pinion and explorer disc swap. I have the a ridetech trianglated 4 link kit that I scored pretty good on eBay for 300 with the shock mounts. I got it all back apart rite now boxin the frame waiting on ridetech hq coilovers that are supposed to be here Tuesday
