Just got my coilovers, they are FC units. I will be building some custom Lower Control arms soon.

Latest update. I have gotten pretty far designing a rear suspension with no bind.

Man, you’ve got a lot of math and engineering going on. Blowing my mind man. I’ll be looking for the next video. Thanks Andrew |

NICE work Freeskier. I've been watching your YouTube videos for a while, and have seen some of your posts, but just found this thread and connected the dots. With your new FC struts are you still using 450 Fr / 350 Rr spring rates? I'm gathering parts for a sbc conversion and looking at coilovers now, but mine will be a street car (not drift or race).
I've ridden in an FB with 350/200 springs, which felt pretty nice all around (compared to my stock 100/85 (?) springs), but I'm not sure if 350 will be enough with the weight of the small block. |

if you get an explorer axle housing and shorten one side so both sides are the same you should be close!! Just get two of the short axles. I am going to have to trim my tunnel to get the offset housing to work
mine is a housing from a 2005 f150 , aprox 3 1/4 tubes to match to moser weld on flanges for ford big bearing and c clip delete earlly measurements has me at 17 3/4 tube length total width with flanges is aprox 55 7/8 this is all just on paper i really need to remove stock rear end and mock the 8.8 in place to get final measurement |
