Centering front wheels
Has anyone used the front leaf springs sold by Midfifty that drop and center the front wheels in the wheel well. Any positive or negative feed back? For the people who installed them, did you buy the longer arm from midfifty or have your own stretched?

I will have mine august 3 . I bought the springs the new power steer kit and sway bar.$9.99 shipping. Like that. I bought the longer arm have to send my old one back. Am anxious to get it put on the truck. Will take pictures but don't have a clue how to post them and sometimes I just don't feel like reading all the bull***** on how to do it but I will someday.

Did they lower the front like they said they will ? supposed to lower 3" I hope then later probably this winter I will send the axle to Sids Maybe just take it over since we are going to the chili bowl in Jan at Tulsa would be a good road trip before the races.

Thanks. I used the adjustable spring hangers from Midfifty with stock springs.

Thanks. Yes, the ratchet straps are holding the roof on. I was bringing it home on my trailer knowing that there was some rust but didn't plan for what happened next. The air flow at freeway speeds ripped the roof off along the seam at the back and it landed in the bed of the truck. I didn't even know it had happened until I got off the freeway. Next project is to find someone to weld it back on. Already have the reproduction drip rails.
