Thread: Trying to sort out springs

Tweet

ceh383, Great info. Thank-you! My trk might be a little heavier than yours. The cab is extended, I have a/c & a late model bed wts. more so the 350lb/in vs. 300 s/b okay

You're welcome, glad I could help.

Street Rodder magazine had a article on this some years back.Because the mustang II carried 65% of the weight on the fronted the 4 cyl spring should work well.BE careful of right heights.Mt friend has a 40 ford 4 door sedan SBC,turbo 350 we put a mustang II frt end on it and it worked very well.He bottom out the trans pan on a speed bump.After changing the pan he raised the ride height by cranking up the coil overs. After this it would start rolling from side to side on the freeway.After some research we put a sway bar on the front and it fixed the problem.

Did you notice that you're responding to a thread that's eight years old, and appears to have been answered at the time? It's not a problem, but gotta wonder why resurrect something from 2008?

Like I said, it's not a problem to me, and there's a bunch of good information in the old threads. That said, if you'd started by acknowledging that the thread's kinda old but still has good info, etc then everyone would know you're not trying to answer the original poster, but rather just adding more good info to the mix.

Your input about your friend's '40 is great, and could indeed save someone from heading down the same rabbit trail.
