Waggy Springs with a 3.0
« on: Mar 25, 2010, 06:39:27 AM »
I am doing research on SASing my 93 Extended cab with a 3.0.I am making alot of the parts like spring hanger, getting Ford shock towers and Waggy Springs.The poor man's SAS. What I want to know is since the Waggy springs don't move the axle forward will I have problems with my cross over steering hitting the oil pan. I plan on moving the spring hanger forward some but since it is an extended cab I dont want to streach it to much.Has anyone done this swap with the 3.0? any advice , info or pics would be appreciated.

How much lift did you get? I have F150's in the rear and want to run waggys up front with 35" tires. I hope it's close to level.
