Need some advice on front leaf springs for my 37 Chevy 2dr sedan. Ive installed a Nova rear axle with Ch***is Engineering springs, shocks, and sway bar. For the front, Im going with a dropped tube axle and 54 Chevy spindles and brakes. I using the Ch***is Engineering shock and sway bar kit for the front but Im not sure what to do for springs? Ive considered using the stock front springs and maybe removing a couple of leafs on each side. Im trying to get the front pretty low with good ride and handling. I none of the vendors seem to advertise new springs for this setup but I see that Posies makes Dual-Flex front springs to lower 48-52 Ford trucks 3 that are the same width and length (1-3/4 x 36). The engine will be a GMC 302 which I believe is a little heavier that a SBC. Thoughts any other options?
I ran the same setup on my 37 coupe. I removed the 2nd and 3rd shortest leaves, Cross steer Vega box and 54 front drums. It sat really nice but not slammed and drove and rode good. I tried removing a third leaf but the spring started to arc the other way. I would post pics but I am at work.
drop axle with stock springs will work fine. speedway makes one. That is unless you have the Knee action.
