just a thought

havent had a chance to really spend time under my truck so I dont really know if there is room, but I know on mustangs we put sub-frames on them and it made the car feel alot more stiff/solid... my truck feels solid now but i am wondering what it will fell like 2-3yrs down the road.. has anyone thought of doing this and if it is at all possible.....thanks

The truck is full framed and heavy duty, for four wheeling and stuff.

ease up on the dude, he'll learn and maybe, just maybe he can help others in their quest for information!

my 99 feels tight as can be and handles better then new, but thats mostly due to some sweet mods.

I think your Mustang was a unibody and it would benefit from subframes as did my 1991 Z281LE but your L has a full frame--no subs needed.

sub frames

sub frames and unibodys are the same thing, on the mustangs what they are putting on is sub-frame connecters. they help stiffen up the car by making it more rigid. your full framed truck would for the most part just get heavier. hope that helps you.
