lowering rack in fox?

Imwanting to get my BBF as low in chassis as I can for hood room. has any one dropped there rack down from stock location on a tubular k-member (i use QA1)? Looks like to do this isnt the issue that I see, its the tie rods will run up hill to the spindles. Is this an issue?

Bump steer kit will help that.

UPR, STEEDA, Team Z, PA, there's a bunch out there.

cool, thanks I will call Team Z, they are down by detroit I think.

Yes they are.

Make sure to use offset rack bushings as well

where do those go? I was just gunna relocate the rack mounts down 2 inches.

It's the bushings that are used to mount the rack to the k-member.

gotcha. was looking at the rack last night and it doesnt look like I can move it down much at all cause the rack will hit the bar that goes up to the frame that the a-arm is attached to on drivers side. (Steering gear part of rack that shoots up to shaft)

What k-member are you using? Most dropped rack k-members also have a dropped crossmember too.

Brain fart, Im not using the power rack that is on the car, gunna replace with flaming river manual and looking at the pics I wont have that issue. i should be good. Thanks

not sure, think its a QA1 since the guy that built car used all QA1 suspension parts. kmember has adjustable heims on a-arms.

dont need to drop the Kmember if I can drop the rack. The top of rack is 3 inches from top of kmember cross bar. Drop the rack and bumpsteer kit and its good.
