Frame help

[gsspangler]

I have a few questions, I think I am on the right track. I am getting ready to cut the IFS crossmember that I purchased from welders series (coil over set up). I set the frame height at 9inches from bottom of frame to floor,the rake is 5degrees up to rear, do not want the car to lean to far forward( nose down). Is this about the right height for the frame. How much will the suspension travel with the weight of the 302 ford engine in??? Also I am thinking of putting in a coil over rear axle setup, How much will the suspension travel with that set up. Tire size that I am thinking of useing is 165R15 on front and 255/60R15 on the rear. Will this full set up work or do I need to rethink me figures.

Is it a car you're asking about?

My ride has a 305 and the travel in the front is 1.5-2" the rear is 4" you wont be happy with the 255S if you wasnt a big little look the tire height is to short

I put a mustang II setup on my bucket, and I have 165R on the front and in it's finished (driven) stance the frame sets 9.5 inches from the ground and the lower crossmember set 3.5 inches from the ground. So you sound on the right track. Dean
