About to put my new sport lines in my truck notch and I just wanted to know what's "necessary" to have as extra parts. Can I get away with no cc plates for a while? What other parts should I have before I do this because it won't kill me to hold on to these seeing as I can put them on in about a hour or 2

all you need is the springs, and you can hold off on C/C plates for a while

shoot poly control arm bushings and ball joints for the front. and some nice rear control arms for the rear and call it a day. better yet trade sum labor with iron 50 and get your rear stuff reinforced while its fresh and out the way at the same time. im sure he will work sumthin out with u.

If you're using SN-95 spindles I'd buy ball joints for a '94-'95 stang so you don't have to use spacers. You won't need a bump steer kit.

Greasy I'll be getting the conversion from foxbody and he gives you the front lca so no need to buy ball joints (woohoo)
I'll be trying to get some maxmot cc plates but what's a good bump steer kit to go with and can I use even after I convert to 5 lug?
