T-bird rear suspension on PUP

I checked any you will not be able to do a 6lug on it due to the hub being too small the hub measures 5.5" in diameter. The 6lug pattern you are wanting in it is 6x5.5. and if you measure that bolt pattern that is center to center of studs across from ea other. So you have 2 options! 1 get a new set of wheels and 5lug it or 2 get another IRS that will allow for the 6lug......John

Is there a website for Kustomwerks? I would be interested in some of those arms if they would work with the stock mounts. Did you shorten your axles?

www.kustomfab.com I have a tubular tbird rear in my mazda like the one drgnbdy and I built for Garricks frame. Give Eric and Matt a yell and they can make a set for ya. I think I talked to Scott at BaggedBirds.com 1 time about them not sure if he will still remember has been a year or so ago, but I was telling him incase he knew of anyone with a tbird that might want some for theirs. And yes I did shorten my axles but did not shorten the arms on my truck so they are same lenth as stock.......John

Hey what kinda travel are you guys gettin out of those T-bird IRS once you have shortened the Axles? You think its possible to get 14-16" out of them?

I thought I was the only one that was crazy enough to redrill to a 6 lug, lol

yeah John we talk but there wasn't any benefit for a bird with a birds rear end. The stock ones work. Maybe if someone did a 22" there could be a need. but the 20's still work on them.John why don't you just tell me what you were thinking about sending me. My imagination is running wild here

i have mark VIII irs's they are the same as a t-bird only my center sections are aluminum and the lower control arms have air spring pockets in them for the factory air ride. if anyone knows anyone who wants one i sell them all day long. i always have mountains of them in my shop. i got tons of axle shafts to incase you screw up shortening them!!
