    Will an "A" or "T" spring fit on the rear of a 35 or 36 diff with the original 35-36 wishbones?

    Does anybody know if either the A or T spring will lower it more than the original 35-36 spring?

    Have you looked at those springs? An A or T spring will make the car lots higher (if used in the original crossmember). The only reason to put an A or T spring into a car like a 36 is to clear a quickchange. And the corresponding A crossmember is used with it.

    An A or T spring won't lower the car with the stock cross member. If you need to do this because of a quick change, I would recomend you use an A spring and cross member rather than T. It's a 1/4" wider like the origianl 35 36 spring. The combo tegether still shouldn't lower the car, thats what reversed eyes and de arching is for.

    I do have the corresponding X-mems for both, I was just wondering from a baseline setting, also didn't know if the A or T spring was more stretched out to mount on the bones perches( which would lower the car as well)...
