Re: [Classic Mustang] leaf springs

No matter what springs you wind up getting, you can easily
lower the rear height with a lowering block between the axle
housing and the spring. These come in different thicknesses
or you could make a custom one made to set the ride height
exactly where you want it. Longer u-bolts will be needed
which can also be cut down to the exact length needed.
Very cost effective and easy.
