32 rear spring

[32 ford barn]

I would like to lower the rear of my 32 coupe maybe 2 inches. How many spring leafs could be removed safely?

I have a 32 Tudor sedan
To lower it, I reversed the main leaf, then removed (starting from the bottom), the 3rd leaf, then skipped one , then removed the next.
I then made a spacer to take up the gap so the U bolts would work accordingly.
This lowered the car a bit more than 3"
In your case, just reverse the main leaf, and remove one leaf should do it for about a 2" drop. After you reverse the main leaf, you will have to cut back the ends of the first leaf so that it doesn't bind into the reversed spring eyes.
Make sense?

Sounds like a plan. Thank you!

I have four `32 frames, that all have the kick up over the rear axle bashed in and swelled out by the rear axles bottoming out against them. This I would assume was caused with the stock springs in place. And I even have a rear axle with the top of the housing dented in from bottoming out.

Some of these cars were driven a little wild over rough terrain.

On reversing the main leaf, are you guys just rearching it the opposite way.
