Unhappy More Mustang II Issues..

Does anyone have a complete set of instructions for installing the suspension components on a Mustang II IFS? The crossmember is welded in according to the given directions, but I never got any instructions on how to install the rest of the suspension. I got my kit from an Ebay retailer, (I know, mistake number 1) and their communication skills are next to none.

I'm installing it on a 1955 F100, and I'm becoming one very discouraged rookie. Any help from the highly experienced vets?

This is from Heidts website;

and thsi is from TCI, its not a Ford but is a pickup and now that you have the x member in it should be the same. Hope it helps.

MII Front End

Along these lines just how tight are the ball joints tightned? I have a Fatman MII with a power rack if I tightned them too tight the wheels won't turn.Its still on stands as I'm never home to finish it. The instructions don't cover this. Thanks

I was referred from the dealer that I bought mine from to go to hartrods.com. I looked in there for your truck and found the link 55-59 chevy IFS install guide for the installation. Good luck.

Thanks guys, this has been a great help. We finally got it all bolted up and it's all sitting pretty well. This brings me to another question.. The kit I bought came with a sway bar from Chassis Engineering. Again, no instructions. Any help?
