Hi,
Got an opportunity to pick up a chrome front axle. The 4" drop is fine, but the center to center of the Ford spindle bosses are 44" on center. I can get a 34" chrome spring with the axle. The exixting spring behind radius brackets are at 25" centered on the axle. From what I have learned here is I would need to buy a 26" spring, brackets, and weld the new brackets at 29" centered on the axle. Am I thinking this out correctly or does it really make a difference using a 48-50" center to center axle?
Thanks in Advance!
