A popular upgrade for the 49-51 Fords is to pull out the old factory front springs and throw some Ford Aerostar van springs under the front.I thought I'd do a write up on the Aerostar coil swap, PN Moog CC850, under the front end of my Ford. This is something that has been covered at lenghth on a number of forums online, but I didn't see a step-by-step with pics, so I figured I'd throw my hat in the ring. At some point in the past a former owner lowered my car by heating the front coil springs. This left them way lower than stock but also really soft and without much travel. Not to mention it's not exactly a scientific approach. It isn't easy to do exactly the same thing to both sides. Which was the case on my car. There was a definite lean to the p***enger side.

ALWAYS love to hear about a modern off the shelf part that will help the hobby! Traditional hot rod approach!
