Technical 42-48 Ford parallel leaf spring.

I used S10 leaf springs & brackets (with lowering blocks as well) S10 clip up front ( not bagged)

 

That's is a great stance.

 

Try Yogisinc.com I bought the rear spring kit for my 37 Chevy from Yogis they have been a stocking dealer for ch***is engineering . And even tho ch***is engineering is gone Yogis is showing your Ford kit on the web site. May be they still have some stock.

 

That's pretty low. Did you C-notch the rear frame so the axle doesn't hit it when you go over bumps? Mine's not quite as low as yours yet and I'm still worried I'll need to notch the frame. I changed out the original bump stops to Energy Suspension versions I got from CE that are shorter.

 

no C notch, no bumpstops ,good shocks, no bottoming out.

 

Shocks are 69-87 Chevy truck frt

 

thank you sir, now I just need the mounting brackets, and I have my own home made CE kit

 

I don't remember which end of the shock it is, but one end you need to use a smaller ID bushing for the stock CE parts. So if you're making your own make them to fit the shocks as they come

 

If you're still on here, 345winder, are there any particular years of S-10 rear leafs that work out well? I just bought a '48 Coupe and am considering possible directions to go with it. I just happen to have an '88 (?) donor S-10 here and am hoping those rear springs might be useable.

I don't think I'd want to go as low as you did, and wondered what height lowering blocks you used? Just wondering what the height would be if you hadn't used the blocks? FWIW, I intend to retain the stock front axle, but would plan to reverse the spring eye, maybe remove a couple leaves of the spring and possibly make longer shackles for the front to get it down. I'm thinking I'd want the front down about 3" from stock and about 2-3" lower in the rear, retaining just a bit of rake, with perhaps 1" or slightly more of the rake coming from the tire sizes.

Thanks

Lynn

 

This is what Ch***is Engineering uses on their kits.
They will need to be 48" eye-to-eye with the pin centered at 24".
2" wide, 1" shackle busing eyelet and uses a 1/2" bolt in the front eye.

 

Any pictures of the finished project? Springs mounted to the frame location. Just a over all picture

 

I have a 47 Merc . I’m picking up a 58 Fairlane 4 door for parts . I’m thinking about using the leaf springs and mounts ( if possible) out of it .

 

I have a set of C.I. brackets, hardware and instructions as pictured in post 13. If anyone is interested send me a PM and make an offer, I have no idea what they are worth.

 

Do you know what springs to use with them?

 

I've got the CE setup for sale in the parts cl***ified section, and CE still sells the kit.

 

Hmm... I wonder how spendy that'd be to ship to Oregon!

 

@53olds, if you're referring to the one I have for sale, PM me your address and I can tell you. I can tell you that just the springs in the CE catalog are $649 + shipping.

 

With Posies, you can usually get desired ride height without lowering blocks

The CE kit used to list a Dodge spring for the kit. I probably have that info somewhere, will post, when I dig that out later.

 

Still do.
