This problem is common. I remember when I bought mine in 2001. I was upset over the gap. I tires to align it but never got it perfect. I is hard becasue of no side to side adjustment. I just live with it now. FORD quality...job none!
I have done this mod. If you are swapping out the hole truck decklid than it will be a direct bolt in. If you are using just the spoiler then you will need to drill holes and get some filled!
4.30's, Aluminum DS, Shifter, Springs, SFC's, Steeda Pullies, SCT chip, Plenum and TB, Open air filter, CatBack, Midpipe, headers, Cams! Thats all you will need if you are a serious enthusiest and are staying NA!
Thanks...I am using the stock shocks for now. I have FMS C Springs with 3/4 of the dead coil cut in the rear. Nothing cut up front! The ride is very decent, IMO.
I have unused Steeda set for sale. Email me [email protected] . I thought I would need them but it turns out the car aligned perfectly with the C springs!
Yes...It worked for a while but then the adjusting rod would just start touching the pipe again. I have heard to use a hose to cover the adjusting rod, but I don't know if I like that aproach. If this design was so good, why are there so many "rigs" to fix it??? I just don't like the design!
I had mine widened a while back. Balanced perfectly, looked great, and I never had a problem with them. I did have to use a 1" H&R spacer with them. Also BFG's are wider but I don't know by how much!
