What year Aerostar can you use the springs off of?

I may have a new set for a '56 Ford sedan with AC that may work that I bought many years ago that did not fit my T-bird. Give you a heck of a deal if you can use them. Let me know if interested and I will try to find them.

There is a kit on EBAY sometimes that is a good solution. It consists of 4 metal bars and bolts. Could be easily made. You remove the rivets that hold the lower contror arm spring plates, insert the 1" metal bars under the arms and bolt the spring plate back in. This loweres the bottom of the coil spring about 1" into the A arms and lowers the front of the car about 2". When I did mine I had the alignment checked and it was all still in spec. 4 1" square bars with holes drilled at the rivet locations and some grade 8 bolts is a pretty simple deal. Chuck in NH

And you can return to stock by removing them and replacing the bolts.

My springs were torched not cut. My brother cut his springs on his Chevy though, worked good for him.

I also have a wagon and doing the reverse of what you are doing. I want to lower it in the front. Did the cut coil springs work OK for you? I do not want to spend alot of money. If any one has any other ideas that would be great. Thanks AR

I have a set of stock used ones, that were at original ride height before removed. They were on a 4 passenger 55 Ford...

if interested, send me a pm...i am at 22603

      You might ask through Classified and see if someone saved their stock springs after lowering with the aerostar springs.

      Just a thought.

I'd rather be lucky than good.................

    but good ain't bad!!

You can try to get some used springs from a salvage yard.

Best price I've seen was from Eaton Springs in Detroit. 160$ + shipping. That was the price I got for my 57 Custom 300. I dont know of any other springs that will work and have the factory ride height. Aerostar springs will work but it drops it down 2-3 ins.
