Way back in the day I installed '57 Ford station wagon rear springs on my '57 T-Bird after breaking a spring racing a '65 Mustang. I jacked up the front end with spacers to level it out. Once I get it back on the road again I am considering pulling the spacers out of the front and installing lowering blocks on the rear to bring it back down to the original stock height. I am thinking that all I need is longer rear U bolts and a solid steel spacer on top of the rear spring between it and the spring pad on the rear end housing. I am thinking somewhere around a 1 or 2 " spacer should come close. The rear spring has one extra leaf. I need to verify the original rear height from the ground to the bottom of the rear bumper if anyone has that dimension it would help. Am I missing anything? Never messed with lowering blocks but I know it was done all the time. And yes I know I could install new stock rear springs but I want to keep the heavy duty ones for drag racing and better handling on the corners.
