These crossmember kits are made for track widths of 56", 58", and 60".

Parts are included to fabricate the crossmember and upper spring towers for 1974-78 Mustang II or 1974-80 Pinto/Bobcat front suspension components. Aftermarket replacement Mustang II parts can be used, too.

What appears as lines in the pictures are actually laser-cut slits in the plate. These slits make it easy to form the piece by hand, or, in some cases, by using an adjustable wrench to get a better grip on a small tab. Detailed assembly instructions can be accessed from HERE.

Rack mounts are incorporated into the crossmember design and rotate the rack back 20° to get the input shaft lower. Stock, manual or power racks or later model Mustang II or T-Bird power racks can be used. The later power rack will require the Power Rack Spacer and longer bolts, as described in the power rack mount spacer section. The rack is positioned so the bellows will clear most aftermarket full A-Arms (such as Heidt's, Total Cost Involved, Fatman, etc). Stylish, cone-shaped stamped upper shock mounts also function as the coil spring locator.

The upper towers have anti-dive built in.

The holes for the lower control arms are 1/2" (stock). If you will use lower 'A'-arms instead of the stock lower arms, the lower pivot holes will have to be drilled out to 5/8".

Installation instructions show how to set up the front end at the ride height you want. Rack extenders or Fairmont tie rod ends must be used on 58" and 60" kits. (The actual track width will vary depending on the brake configuration.) Crossmember & upper towers are made from 3/16" mild steel.

About Boxing Plates
Many builders will have steel plate to box the frame rails. If 3/16" boxing plate material is required, it is available from our catalog.

Strut Rods
If you are using stock-style strut rods, order the strut rod bracket, washer and gusset from our catalog also. The strut rod washer is used to tighten up bushings that are loose in the 3/8" bracket.
