I'am planning on getting subframe connectors for my '87 5.0 but don't know whats better the standard size or the full length. Does it make a difference? Thanks for the help. [Confused]

I bought the kenny Brown extreme Matrix with jacking rails. It is a 3 piece unit that does a great job of stiffining the chassis! [patriot] Might as well do it rite the first time if Ya can? [burnout]

Full lengths go from the rear torque boxes all the way up to the bottom of the firewall...They also give more area to connect/weld to the chassis and are stronger than the standard length connectors...

I installed Maximum Motorsports full lengths on my old 94 and it was worth it...

Good luck... [patriot]

M.M full lengths are the reason i posted this. I will probably go with the full lengths. Thanks.
How much did you end up paying after S&H?

We can do the Griggs standard length for $189.99 installed. (+ tax of course) We can also get you the Maximum full length, if that's what you'd prefer. I have the Griggs on my Mach & love 'em.
