    Ok so I just started a 38 ford pu that Im bobbing. I got a 38 axle with wide 5 drums and wheels. I want to move the axle a few inches forward to center it under the x member and run a spring over axle as apposed to the stock 38 set up spring forward of the axle problem is I need a 33" spring to do this (properly anyway) But I cannot find a 33" spring anywhere. Anyone have any thoughts on this before I spend big bucks to a custom spring made.
     
  2. i think Posie's has a spring for that

    Posies does make the correct spring for "spring over" on a later axle like yours. I think it also comes in 2 versions; stock or reversed eyes

    Look under "front springs" 28 to 34 years, not the later 35 up listings
     
  8. take a look at Posie's part #'s 1009 , 1009S , 1009L and 1009H
