I am working with a 1932 Chevy Coupe Chassis, going the highboy route. The Rear end sticks up way to high on the stock springs, wondering if there is someone out there who produces lowered or monoleaf springs for early chevys ???? I could use blocks, but anything over 2" is not safe, need to lower the rear by at least 4-6". OR...might there be another spring from another car that would do the same thing for me...????? I know, that a triangulated rear setup would do the trick, but I am on a VERY limited budget, and would like to do this with wrenches...like it might have been done in the past..... Any and All advice or suggestions would be much appreciated
For cheap and easy. Take springs to a spring shop. Have them reverse the eyes and de-arch the springs. They might have to shorten the main leaf a bit. The problem with original springs is that they aren't as stiff as wider springs. If you put lots of power to them you will get spring wrap.
OLDOLDS....Thanks for your idea, I had thought about the DeArching, but the length thing had me confused......you just UNCONFUSED me...appreciate your time and input.... Les in Minnesota
I also have a 32 Chevy Iam working, or was working on, I am deployed right now. I was alos trying figure out whatto do with the springs. Any updates? What did you end up doing to lower the car? Dave
