39 coupe stance

[Sam A.]

Hello all,

I have a bone stock 39 coupe that I would like to give a subtle lowering to. Is it possible to use a 2" lowered front spring (Posies) without having to worry about tie rod and drag link modifications? Any recommendations/methods are much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Sam they look cooler with the rear lowered. Old school. G.M.

If you want to keep the 6.00x16 tires you may want to just reverse the spring eyes. I have pictures of a friend's 40 that he did this.... subtle... but nice. I can post when i get home.

I used a 4" Magnum drop axle on my 40 so I could keep the wishbone unsplit. most others require you to split the bones. You might not have to with a 2" but I would ask first before you buy it.

The '38 deluxe in my avatar has a Posie reversed slider spring in front with no other modifications (except tube shocks). I don't see why it won't work on your '39.

The 39 in my avatar has a reversed eye front spring. No other changes.

Reverse the eye on the main leaf will give you about what you'er looking for. You will end up will better spring that the newer stuff.
Lower in front has a better look JMO...

Thanks for the feed back guys. The rides in your avitars are exactly what I was shooting for!!

I have a Posies reverse eye spring and a 3" drop axle in my 38 std. Everything worked out I didn't split the bones and I have pan and frame rail clearance. It has the look that I wanted. Rear is reverse eye Posie nothing more...

The older I get the better I was!!!
