Longer Shackle bars. The shackles stock should be at a 45 degree angle when installed under pressure. The longer shackles decrease this angle a bit but does have some angle or tension at 1" or 2" drops. Angle/Tension is to control sway. Reason I wouldn't use it on the front personally. Drop axle is better.

Make sure you leave some room between the axle and the frame. Don't want to bottom out.

socal 1" and 2": Lower your car in the front 1935-1940 Ford passenger car or 1935-1940 pick up or your 1932-1940 Ford passenger car or pick up in the rear.

verns: description says for 35-40 fords (maybe talking the front shackles, not of a fan of lowering shackles for the front). Not sure why not for 32-34 rear
