It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

You will need brake line adapters but you can get those from autozone. Not sure if you have the right u bolts but i know for the explorer rear end i wasnt able to reuse my old ones from the 8 inch. I also used the stock explorer shock mount and had a piece welded on so i can use mustang shocks. Hope this helps
