1947 Mercury Lowering

I have pick up a 1947 Mercury Coupe and I'm looking at using a 3" raised 41-48 Ford Front crossmember from Speedway to lower the front of it. Does any body know if this will work? Below is a link to what I'm referring to.

Mudsliger this is for a car.

 

I just got done putting one in my 47' Ford. Not the easiest install, but doable. I'll post pics as soon as I can. From what I've been getting is it's not a true 3" drop, it's more of a 1.5" drop. On mine, the holes didn't line up and the spring pad area had to be opened about 3/8". If I was you, I would look at the spring set up, ie: pulling a leaf or two, and a drop axle from Sid. Just my $.02

 

Why not a Sid's 4'' drop axle ???

 

Sids Looks like they way to go. Thanks

 

I have done this crossmember swap twice I believe the results are with the price and effort. They advise you that it will not work with a flat motor.

 

How much did it lower the car?

 

With the crossmember and a 4" drop axle, I only saw a 5 1/2" drop. I decided to pull half of the springs out. It sits 10" to the bottom of the bumper. With 235/60/15's up front
