greetings to all, I have a problem with the rear suspension of my F1's 56, I was confused to ask for the suspension to lower three inches since pedi one for years 53 and 54 and is shorter. Now I would like to use some of the leaves and send to the first here in Spain, but not as they would have to have. It is but to be understood and sorry for my bad English

 

Easy solution since you have the shorter springs would be to move the rear spring hangers 4" forwards on the frame to the 53-54 position. With the reversed eye springs you need to take the front hangers off and turn them upside down. You can also move them to the top of the frame for more lowering.


Note, The F1 was only 48-52, The 53-83 was called the F100 so your 56 is an F100 not an F1.

 

I think he's saying he wants to use the old main leaf with the new other leafs. That won't lower it tho, and I don't think that's a good plan.

 

I agree, better to use the entire new springs and move the hangers.

 

thank you very much for the help, I would not have thought of that solution, a question, the holes you see are for that location?. motive changed because measures for the suspension 55 and 56.
thanks for the clarification of the difference between f1 and f100

 

53, 54 rear springs were 4" shorter than 55-56 springs, all behind the axle. That is the only difference between the 53-54 frame and the 55-56 frame. I don't know if the other set of holes will work, but it is possible Ford kept drilling the old holes, if they are 4" closer to the front and match the mounts then yes.
When using reversed eye lowering springs like your new ones, you must remove front mounts, turn them 180 degrees then reinstall.

 

I could explain this part, you do not get it, thanks.
"When using reversed eye lowering springs like your new ones, you must remove front mounts, turn them 180 degrees then reinstall."
also I have to replace the front two lower leaves 3 "something to consider?

Evitar la interferencia:

uno: Extraer montaje frontal
dos: voltee hacia abajo (invertir)
tres: volver a poner, devolver

Bueno!

ŋayuda esto?

 

thank you very much, now I understand, I have to drop the front supports and put the bottom up.
in the front suspension I have to change something?

 

No, not in front suspension.

Front supports can also be moved to top of frame to make rear lower.

 

ok, my intention is to leave a little higher back.
I have doubts about the position of the front spring, I have not clear which is the correct position:

 

Number 2 is the right one.

 

The question I have is which is the front and which the back

 

Left in picture is front.
