I'm looking at running coil-over suspension in the front of my -6 conversion with flares. I am going to include the standard longitudinal reinforcements and a few others here and there but my question is, when transferring the weight from the torsion bar mounting points to the top of the inner fenders, what kind of reinforcement have been performed and worked well short of a tube-frame set-up?
Thanks |

You'll need the steel plate camber boxes since the front upper mounts are under considerably higher load than the rear mounts. This usually ties in with cutting the bulkhead in front of the fuel tank as they take considerable room towards the inside of the upper fender area. You'll also end up doing some tube installation to strengthen things up a bit also.
