    Hey all, ok, can I get away with a nose high look without the straight axle? I have seen some older gassers with nose high in the sky and a arms and coils, are there coil springs that will hoist it up there? Any help is appreciated also if anyone has links to a buildup of one with coils please paste it so I may see how it was done. Thanks a million.

    What type of car ? Tri5"s uses ball joint spacers. Early 50's used blocks between the front susp. and the frame. I think Megans ( Chevygirlrox) car had that under it.

    On your car what alot of guys do is add blocks between the frame and the front cross member to get extra height.I will look I think I have some pics of a 49-54 chevy gasser with blocks.

    It would look better with a speedway straight axle and semi ellipticals under it. Cleaner.
