1952-59 Ford Just dropped the front!

Finished! I'm hoping it will settle just a tad but so far so good. I am however resting on bump stops in the front also. I'll need to cut those down a little more but in the mean time I'm liking the way it looks. Anyone have any 15 5x4.5's they want to sell or get rid of?

Aerostar springs with 4" blocks



Rear dropped


Stock

 

looks good I did the same with mine . It was the best improvement I have made looks so much better good luck with it

 

Thanks! Did you have to remove or cut your front bumpstops way down?

 

That looks great!i am thinking of doing the same also.where did u get the 4" blocks with hardware?i checked jamco and they only had 3" kits.

 

Looks good. I am in the middle of dropping my 56, but haven't put it back on the ground yet to see how it looks. Thanks for the motivation.

 

Thanks guys! I bought the blocks at butchscoolstuff.com

 

Damn! That thing looks sooo much better! I dont know if I will go with 4" again, but that looks great. Im thinkin 3" for out here in AZ. Roads aint rough, but they aint great neither.

 

Anyone have any 15" rims laying around I need to swap these out ASAP.

 

I would sell ya mines, but I needs em. I have to get rid of my Cragars. They arent gonna look good when my car is that low.

 

Well I have 5 14"'s that you can use till you sell your others.

 

Oraly Vato!! Esta LaBomba!!!

 

I hope that's a good thing roach lol.

 

looks great! hard to do the front springs at all?

 

All right Dude!! Its the Bomb!!!

Yeah front springs are easy....

 

I've got the four stock 15" wheels off my 56. Let me see if I can find them.

 

Those 15 inch stockers are getting harder to come by, some of the other Ford sites will have ads in the wanted sections for them.A lot of people tossed them when they got custom wheels and the tire shops s****ped them so the restorers have a hard time finding them.Check out ebay to see what they go for.They show up in the wanted cl***ifieds here on the HAMB too as the need for a narrow rim for a lowered car seems to be more in demand,I sold some a while back the shipping prices ****!

 

Stig - that would be awesome if you could find them. My 14's have the wrong back spacing is incorrect causing the A-arm joint to carve a groove in the back of my tires!

Thanks!!
