I've read through some older posts and am just looking for some clarification if I could. 48 Chevy pickup w/sbc.
1. I got a front end kit (rotors, calipers, springs, etc.) from Yogis and they recommended 350# springs. Are these going to be too stiff for this application? They had 4 cyl. springs without a/c and the next step up were the ones I got.
2. On the rear I need to add shocks. To determine the proper length of the shock do I unload the suspension and measure for the extended length of the shock? Will welding the new crossmember to the frame without boxing it be strong enough?
3. Do I have to run a bolt up through the leafs into the lowering blocks?
Thanks in advance for your help.
