    Has anyone installed a mustang ii front suspension on a 37 or 38 terraplane? Or dose anyone know what is the proper rake for the crossmember? I bought a after market crossmember for a 35-40 ford and the crossmember is leaning too much? The notch for the frame that is cut is too deep in the back, or not enough in the front. I found somewhere that the proper rake is aproxx 2 degrees is that right? Also if i cut the front of the crossmember to acheve 2 Degrees what about the upper spring hats, If i take 3/8 of an inch off the front of the crossmember where it meets the frame should i take that much off the front of the spring hats?
    Thanks for the help, Dave
