Need a part number for a drop kit...

There is some confusion involved. I don't know if it's the Ground Force kit or a Motorsport kit...I had the part number and can't find it. Any info guys?

The Ford Motorsport (aka FRPP) part #: M3000-L. Its made for FRPP by GroundForce. Includes front springs (blue w/GroundForce label), front bump stops (shorter), and rear shackles. Claimed at 2" and 2", but varies from truck to truck. My 99 was 1.5" & 2". 02 isn't on yet, I'll know in a week or two.

You can buy it from Jim Dingell at Performance Parts, Inc. It'll cost about $132.xx and some shipping...thats what both of mine cost (for my 99 L and now my 02 L). He's a well-known and liked guy in the Mustang community, been around almost forever, won't steer you wrong. Ask about him on any of the Mustang lists and see what you hear.

http://www.mustangparts.com/

The part # may or may not be available for online ordering...just send him an email (info@mustangparts.com) and he'll send you the prices. He's the owner so he answers all mail.

Roger,
You're the best. You and Speedy Bob (who always seems to be more help than most of the other "helpful" people) *inside joke* Thanks for all the info. My Brother is a tech at Mike Naughton, can get the drop for something like 10% over cost. I'm gonna see what I can do there and if that isn't the most logical solution I will email Jim. Speedy also reco'd getting different end links too...something else to check...Thanks again. BTW send me pics of your True Blue, I love the trucks in that color...I would like to see one in Gunmetal Gray too...

Good point on the end links...I forgot Since most trucks settle to different heights, I'd recommend waiting a week/200 miles and then measuring them (stock height is 4 5/8"). For the rear you can go with the adjustable endlinks from SoCal (no link, sorry). Those are about $57.00 or so.

I've got to get some pictures burned. Still waiting to get it lowered and stuff before I do. I've always been partial to black vehicles, but the true blue is definately growing on me. I feel the same about the gray--my wife has an 01 LS that color.

Good Luck CA. You'll not only love the new look, but the handling is improved also.
