Hot Rods HANGING A REAR THE HAMB WAY....

I've noticed that when you do something around here....right or wrong... the trolls come running to tell you what a mess you made, how it will never work...how you should not be allow in business and such... So lets reverse that,... I have a 32 chassis... the rear is 60'' wide... though not a wanted thing to do,.. I purchaced a 56'' wide rear as to be able to fit the tires and wheels I want...with the 60'' wide I need 6'' of back space.... can't get there with a 5 or 6'' wheel.....so... gotta narrow the rear...

the chassis has a cross leaf, which I wanna keep... it also has split wish bones... whats a better way to hang the rear??? on a cross leaf the movement is straight up and down...

If you have a pic it would be more that helpful

 

of coarse this would require use of a lateral panhard bar

 

will a triangulated 4 bar work??? or bad idea??? would it eliminate the need for a panhard



again for those that might have forgot, but sure someone post, I know nothing about anything, and just a waist of space on earth..

 

Why wouldn't you fit it exactly as the one its replacing?

so many here said it won't work... even though it has been that way for 50 yrs...

 

I was aware of that, which is why I asked! If its not broke yet it'll probably last a while longer.

I have this and a cross spring in mine, seems to be OK for me. How wide is your existing spring?

 

there were so many that seen the pics and banged the way it was done... so thought I'd ask

 

39 1/2'' with the weight on

 

If the shackle angles are correct at ride height it'll work just fine.
