Thanks in advance as I begin the process of refreshing her little gem.
Replaced the leaf springs in my 61 last year. Obvious signs but now I am working on refreshing a 56.
It looks like it sits low in the rear. The bushs were probably replaced about 10 years ago during a partial resto.
But the rear leafs may or may not be original. Not sure fresh iron will improve the stance.
Is there a definitive test for the rear leaf springs ? Tempted to just install some air shocks to elevate the two inches in the rear.
BTW This one has the continental kit and original 1/2 front sway bar, thinking of replacing front and rear with 7/8 sway bars for a bit more modern handling.
