wait whats the difference between foxbody lower control arms and the 94 and up?

Dependimg on the model, the mounting brackets may be wider and angled different, and the mounting points for the emergency brake cable may or may not be there.

@CoolCarsHotGuitars ohh no i mean the front lower control arms... i already did my rear, i have an 04 GT rear end and some 96 wheels, i got the e-brake cables from a 96 i just need to make a custom bracket and weld it on the tunnel.. but i have my front 5 lug conversion almost ready to go i just need a rotor and a caliper thats why i asked cuz i have already found that the shock's brackets are narrower than the 4 lug's which has me worried that i may need different control arms up front now

I'm pretty sure I mentioned in the video about getting spindles to match the control arms and lower ball joints. The threads and taper are different from year to year. You are better off buying a rotor / spindle / shock combination that matches the lower ball joint size. It is difficult to mix and match parts. If the ball joint is too short for the control arm design there will not be enough travel. The spindle will also interfere when going lock to lock. Hope that helps.

I would love to make step by step videos, but I can only post up to a 15 minute video. I will try to break them down more and include information about important safety steps. I am assuming a minimum level of mechanical ability but you are right, I should be more detailed.
