    You can spend a bunch of time trying to find a cludge solution or re-read Mike's post above until you appreciate all the advantages he enumerates............if you want an independent front suspension that gets the job done with the least negatives that advice is spot on .....

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Yes I agree one of the only reasons I didn't want to use the mustang II front end is I want to try to keep the truck all dodge . I'm not a fan of mixing and matching .

    Uncle Bob's giving you good advice, and the important piece that you may be missing is that the Mustang II or MII IFS is simply a STYLE or base design that defined a geometry approach that has been copied time and time again. Like Mike pointed out in his very informative post,

    That said, it's your project and if you want to be able to say it's "All Dodge" that's perfectly OK.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
