I made some saddles to swap the axle to the top of the springs.
I should have bought them. Lost 2 hours making them up.
Didn’t weld them yet till I have the engine and trans in to set pinion angle.
Looks like I will have to notch the frame.
Only about 4 inches to the bump stop and no load on the springs yet.
The engine parts should be done when I come back from work in two weeks.
Spring should be here too by that time so more chores to do.
Any advice on crown Vic swaps chime in. I’m sure I missed something..lollipops
