Rear suspension - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Fountain · 12-20-2015, 03:21 PM

I have 1953 Chevy truck and I am debating what rear suspension to use. I would the truck sit low with a static drop. Up front will be a danforth crossmember with drop spindles. It is notched into the frame to drop an additional 1" or so. It will be 4-5 drop up front. I am looking for a level rake.

Would the leaf spring kit from TCI with blocks provide enough to drop to make it level? Has anyone used the ride tech 4 link triangulated rear kit? I am also considering what Dave from Hollister did with the trailing arm kit from Classic.

Any help would be appreciated.
