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.

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! Might as well do it rite the first time if Ya can?

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...

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? [ October 19, 2005, 01:30 AM: Message edited by: PWR HNGRY 302 ]

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.

Sheldon @ Bigboyracing.com did mine, full length, 170 installed, if I remember correctly. Did a great job on the welds as well.
