55 ford suspension
Hi, I've recently come into possession of a 55 Ford 1/2 pickup. It has had a Valarie front suspension installed, but is carrying a big block engine. The engine weight seems too much for that suspension. Is there a way to beef up the suspension? I'd appreciate the help, thanks.

Welcome to FTE 
Several have Volarie IFS here. Not sure what they are running (engines) in their trucks but Volarie's have torsion bars that can be adjusted if you believe your truck sits too low. Don't forget if you raise or lower your truck you'll need the alignment rechecked.
OBTW BigBlock???? Ford, Mopar, Chevy????
