$999 for a Dropmember
 
I am releasing a new Dropmember design that will be sold for $999. I have redesigned the lower control arm mount to use a factory style u-bolt. The machined components of the new design are far less expensive, and allow me to drop the price considerably.

The new design gives a little more Dropmember to lower control arm clearance when using factory lower control arms, as well as more ground clearance.

The main difference between the new and old design is the price! Same results, same quality, big savings.;)

There's no reason to even think about Zing your frame anymore.:metal:

This isn't the best view, but it will work.

Is this in addition to the ORIGINAL design? Or is this replacing the original Dropmember?

Do you still need to change to R+P steering?

It isn't set in stone, but it appears that this design will soon end up replacing the ORIGINAL.

Yes, the factory steering needs to be replaced by a 1979-1993 Mustang rack and pinion.

The only thing different about this design is the mounting for the lower control arm. All other aspects of the Dropmember are the same.

Any word on something for the back half of a 73-87 blazer, to get it down as low as your dropmember ?

Those are for the 63-72 chassis. Yours are all boxed up. I just finished welding up all the four-links for the rest of you guys that have been waiting.

Thanks for your patience Chris, your stuff leaves tomorrow.:metal:

you have no idea how much EASIER this is I installed mine from box to air -up in 3 hours total labor. can't do a Z that quick and have it be as clean and dead on engineered to work.

Man this is great and timely news! Been looking to bring the parts inventory up for the winter time projects. Guess I had better call with some specs and get my questions answered.

Can't wait to get started..
