    Who makes the best rear spring kits for the '48 Ford? There are several on the market and each appear to be different. I'm changing my coupe to a T5 and 8.8 rear. Any suggestions or experiences would be appreciated.

    I have the Chassis Engineering kit in my '46 Station Wagon. Quality product with excellent instructions.
     

  5. So how many of the 3 of you that posted above also added Lowering Blocks to get final ride height?

    Anyone used the brackets from 40ragtopdown here in the HAMB classifieds?
    I usually build my own stuff, but for the price he asks, I am tempted to save myself the hassle.
