Thanks for the video. There's not much information out there about these front ends. Is there any way you could tell me from ride height center line how far? The spindle moves up before hitting the bump stop. Like how many inches because i'm thinking of converting one of these runnings to air ride.
Can you flip the sway bar mounts around so the bushing is held in place with the inner collars instead of the sway bar arms? Also can you shorten the sway bar links to get that rod end slightly below the upper arm?
Thanks for the video. Looking at the instructions on their site for the unser version, the sway bar is mounted to that lower cross member in front of the rack. Looking at the universal kit though, it matches how it is there, attached to the top of the frame rails. Seems like mounting it on the cross member would be much easier to fit. Pretty easy fix on the bushings, flip the mounts around so the flange rides against the lock collars. The instructions though make it look like it's not welded up to the rails? Did it come how you have there or did you weld up everything to the rails?
@@IDKWTFID Yeah but thats a massive job. You have to not only section in to the frame rails, you have to modify for the core support and completely redo the inner fender wells. Thats an easy 70-80 hour job and quite a bit more when you consider plumbing brakes, adapting the rack, motor mounts etc. Youre gonna pay more for a DSE front end all in so it is what it is.
I'm very invested in this setup for my project, and you actually answered one question the speedway's tech guy couldn't, so I'm gonna ask you anther wheaton I've got. How much compression travel do you have left at ride height? Also, what track width kit do you have?
Hey was wondering if you have an update on the g-comp kit?

Turn the piller blocks around and the retainer will hold the bushing in and shorten the links and that will solve the hitting the arm issue

Someone just recommended i go with this setup for my 69 mustang wouldnt even know where to begin installing it
Thats the time that you go to a chassis shop who does know where to begin and end the installation.
@@mattnsac yea I called a few places they wanted 7k just in labor and thats bringing them the car already stripped down

I just received an email that mine will arrive next Wednesday for my 1950 Willy's Crew Cab Project.

Have you done anything else with the kit so far ?
Turn pillow blocks around and mill the arm flat.
shorten sway tube, & tap threads a little deeper. Problem solved
I'm interested in the width also. Need one for my 40 Pontiac coupe
Does the sway bar get in the way of front accessory
