The Lowered Stance Picture and Build Thread


55 Fargo

Recommended Posts

Thrifty...........nice car, 1 coil will suit it well, lower but not scraping the ground................also like your Windsor running board front chromed cap, I found a pair on a basket case 1940 Chrysler here in Oz 40 yrs ago and recognised the same running board shape as the same as that on my Oz 1940 Dodge, had them rechromed, they are brass and came up a treat.......very few people here in Oz have ever seen a pair & I get asked what they are from............regards, andyd

I've fitted 1 1/2" blocks to the rear, for a mild 'speedboat stance'.
Comparison to the 'before' shot shows how the nose is now riding very slightly higher, so I am planning a subtle 1/2"-3/4" drop at the front, to complete the look.

Not sure if this shows enough, basically the spring pocket sits on top of the control arm, just move it to the bottom.

Relocated spring pockets and Moog Aerostar springs.

i think it gave me about a 2” drop.

My 47 DeSoto Custom Suburban, in 2009.  The back end seemed a little high, which would make sense for a hauler like this, for up to 9 passengers (a squeeze) and luggage, from the train station to the resort hotel.  I added 2-inch lowering blocks, to level the car for my uses.
