Yes, this is simular to what Shelby did. approx 1 1/2-1 3/4" results may vary though.

The topic has been recently discussed here. There's a link to a site that has a template that can be downloaded.... as well as a link to a place that sells those negative wedge kits that allows the upper arm to be dropped even more.http://www.fordmuscle.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?topic=820&forum=1&10 Good Luck! ------------------

With the combination of the drop springs and control arm relocation, the negative wedge system would be a worthwhile addition.
