i have an 8 inch from a 74 maverick. 5 lug pattern. what has to be done to it to fit under my 72 pinto? thanks!
Hi dc,
The spring purches will need to be moved outward if I remember right and keep in mind the rear is about an inch narrower so wheel offset is effected. I like the deeper offset of the rim in the back myself and almost went the same route but decided to stay four lug because I'm only putting 130FT LBS of torque through the 8 inch I lifted from a 76 Pinto. A 1 inch shorter drive shaft my be in order also if you are staying with your shock tranny.
