1952-59 Ford bagging my 55

What are some thoughts on this? I don't want to c notch the frame but id like to be lower than what I am now. I'm young, dumb and want to have fun. Any pictures of set up in rear and what type of bags you recommend?

 

How low do you have it now? Dropped spindles and Aerostar springs up front will get you pretty low. Then some 3"-4" blocks out back will also get it pretty low. Good luck on the bags without notching the frame. But if you want it on the ground, that's what you are gonna have to do.

 

if you dont notch it your not going to get it "low enough"
im a strong promoter of 4" blocks and aerostar springs.

Where are you guys getting your 3"- 4" blocks and are you getting the ones with a pinion angle?

 

I have the the spring pocket spacers and 2 inch blocks in the rear. I didn't find you guys until everything was ordered and on. The problem I have is that bottoming out in the front. I know if I get the aerostar springs, it will be worse. I also need to look into a different throw in the shock to help this problem out. If I do bags, its not to sit on the ground, its just about the stance at the show and to not be on the ground completely

 

You shouldn't bottom out with uncut Aerostar springs up front, but if you cut them or add pocket spacers you might. The best next step for going lower up front would be drop spindles, as they will give you a couple extra inches without changing your suspension geometry. Smaller diameter tires would help too.

For the rear, you probably won't be able to go much lower than 4" (blocks or bags) before you start running in to drive-line clearance issues, so anything lower than that and you'll need to start doing floor work.

I would just stick with Aerostar springs and maybe spindles up front, and 4" blocks out back, and then start saving up for a bag set-up to go lower.

 

What are you paying for 4 inch blocks and from where?
