1939 Tudor Sedan - Drop That Rear End

[neilp]

I have been making great progress on my 39 Sedan that was put away in storage 30 years ago. It now runs and stops and is itching for a drive. I have a global 16" tire sourcing problems that is out of my control so I moved on to the stance of this car. The whole darn car was too high for my taste so I have installed a reverse eye Posie in the front and I really like the results. Now I need to address the back of the car. My original intent was to run 650 16" tires on the rear and 600 16" on the front. The car currently has the 30 year old bias ply 600 16" tires on all wheels and the rear of the car MUST COME DOWN.

So, I want to know what you 39/40 owners have done to drop the rear end 2" on your car. I don't want to use longer shackles so I want to hear from the guys that used a reverse eye Posie in the back and/or the guys that removed layers from the stock springs or something else that worked well. Please tell me your experience and what you thought of the reverse eye Posie spring install on your rear end.

thank you
