Outline of modifications so far- continued

Rear Suspension

The rear suspension uses the original axle ( Ford 9"), with a 3.25 open gearset.
Below is a list of parts and modifications:

  • The rear axle housing and differential cover have been degreased and cleaned with a wire brush ( however they may need some rust removal at this point on the OUTER SURFACES).
  • The axle/suspension has been "flipped", which lowers the ride height 6-7 inches
  • New Spring shackles and sleeves/bushings
  • Springs have been sandblasted and primered 
  • New spring pads have been welded on to the axle housing ( just tack welded for "mock up" purposes)
