[QUOTE="CobraSam, post: 16758931, member: 198102"] Could you see a fabricator about adding gusseting as needed? Then you’d probably want to change at least the coil over springs to a different rate, or even better, use MM’s complete coil over setup. Your rear springs will be fine, but prob swap out the rear shocks, but they are adjustable, so you can probably dial in the settings to match your coil rate. You can’t just swap out the front springs because your current a-arms don’t have spring perches. So, you either have to swap control arms or just swap complete coil overs, preferably MM. As far as failing on the street, I dunno. It absolutely could happen I suppose. I’ve street driven thousand of miles on my Foxbodies over the years with drag suspension including drag spindle that would supposedly explode if I hit a pothole….nothing ever broke, so I’d say too many variables involved. 1 last thing to consider is bushing material used in the pivot joints. Drag setups tend to use stiffer bushings to reduce movement while street setup tends to be more forgiving. [/QUOTE]
