    Can you list the part#'s when you get a minute?

    780.00 shipped to the door. 750 rate spring tho, not sure if 650 is cheaper but I think it is.

    I've touched it..lol..when Chris wasn't around at mo's during the trans issues before the 480le. I'm ordering the ridetechs prolly after holiday . Spring rates are priced same. 650 lb is standard, get more if you have extra weight up front. Spring are $75 each if you want 2 different ratings

    I also got the lower ball joints from Napa.

    Oreilly's I ordered Moog inner and outer Tie rods and Moog sway bar end links for the Marauder.

    I believe the MM came with a mostly P-71 suspension up front. Is that a correct assumption?

    Are the new ball joints, tie rods, and end links heavier duty than Fords? I believe I have read that the Moog end links are beefier than what Addco supplies.

    That kit is top notch all day , Moog components used throughout , Moog also makes Napas forged control arms , honestly the 750lb springs should be standard , they adjust faster , and you cannot tell any difference from the 650lb springs to the 750lb springs, it gives a very firm, but comfortable ride.

    I'm interested in how the constant rate springs will feel over a variety of surfaces, not just smooth paved roads.

Thanks again buddy!

    Got it aligned this morning and just drove about 20 miles. Took some curvy roads, bumpy roads, and smooth roads. All I can say is I can't believe what I've been missing. It feels as tight as my 2015 Dodge Charger. This was worth the money!

    I think Somebody needs to get a No Compete Agreement with Motown. Does MO money, now mean Motown Money?

    It was an honor to have
    my ASS kicked by you!
    Rest In Peace!
