Thats exactly what I was going to say to do Ricky! Tim beat me to it. And even better, with pictures.
Check Baggedbirds.com for all your t-bird suspension needs. Scott knows what he talkin about, and made several different versions till he got it perfected. Want to see a t-bird truely laying frame on 20's, check the site or his profile.
^ Yea I've already registered and talked with him a little , great site!
TiMe-1 - baggedbirds is the place to go, where do you think Nick got his info on the birds design?? Yours truely . We have Ricky all squared away over at baggedbirds. The raising issue is for the engine and again go to baggedbirds where i have a how to We have all the bases covered. Mine been dones for 6 years now. Wow, good news travels fast. That design was suppose to be under wraps. I guess the cats out of the bag now. TiMe-1 you didn't know that, but Nick did it wasn't to be posted. It should be called the "Scott" I designed that in 2002 and built mine in Feb '05.

holly cow thanks TiMe-1
no problem man.....sorry for that!
its cool. I have an agreement with FabWorx (will be producing the kit)to not show pics of the front since it will be going into production. I shared with Nick prior to that agreement, but he agreed to not post. Thanks
Scott think's he's a BA because he design's all this thunderbird crap. whatever
about the bolt pattern, yeah it's 5x4.25(108mm). not a popular size. there are, however, options. The hubs can easily be redrilled to 5x4.5. You can also use mustang hubs on the front and rear. However, the rear has to be out of a cobra in order to match the axle splines. the front doesn't matter. I personally would reccomend getting the hubs for the front since it takes only a couple minutes to switch them and they are fairly cheap. Also, it can be difficult to get the studs in straight because the back of the hub is rounded. If you can machine a flat surface it would be fine. For the rear, i would reccomend redrilling them since a cobra hub is probably pricey and the rear needs to be pressed in/out. Also the rear has a flat back side so the studs will go in fine.
BTW - NOT selling my truck.. lol. T-birds just a daily, that I want to bag too
