In this application, the standard Mustang II recommendation may be misguided. It can work well on Chevys, however, their straight frame rail makes installation straight forward, and the weight is within specifications. For BOP’s the frame rails are neither flat nor straight. There is also a built-in spring pocket, which requires modification of the frame rails. And, there is still a weight issue.
