front suspension
I feel I am where I belong...In the midst of a bunch of gear heads.Hello one and all!
I am working on a 29 ford sedan. It has a stock axle that we have converted to Volare rotors. Cool set-up.My problem is when I put the spring on top of my I-beam axle, She sits like a rock crawler! Is there any tricks I can use to get the front end down alot? I am going to use Vega springs out back, and with a 7" kickup the rear will be fine. I want to use the stock axle up front.
Can I mount the spring some other way than on top of the I-beam axle?
Many thanks for any help you could provide...Jim

Not sure what the bottom of the I-beam looks like. Got Pics? Could you fabricate a perch to mate the spring to the bottom of the axle? Build it so the caster is correct, shim to fine tune. Just a thought.

Behind
A lot of T-Buckets affix the spring behind the axle, with the lower portion about even with the bottom of the axle. You an alos get leafs with the eyelet at the end reveresed putting it on top which drops al little more. Checkout Speedway Motors streed rod section, they sell the parts to do this. Thier pictures are good enough to get the idea across in case my explanation doesn't make sense.
