70 two door to 75 four door Front suspension swap questions.

Also remember that changing rear shackle length changes pinion angle......................

 

Thanks for the tip, I will keep this in mind if the springs I have don't ride well.

 

They are also listed for '70-'72 Maverick 6cyl and are what I used as well...

 

I know, but a stock V-8 Maverick spring should not be "already too stiff". Did you put in stiffer than stock springs?

 

Nope. I'm talking about removing the originals...

After the front end rebuild and install of alu headed 5.0 it was approx 1½" higher than prior... I drove it awhile like but it never began to settle, all's good with the 8088 springs...

 

I know this is old, but what will that do? I have 5inch shackles and planning on going to stock when I bought calvert split mono leafs

 

what was the reason for the "5 inch shackles"?

 

No idea. my father did it over 10yrs ago

 

some people use longer shackles to compensate for sagging leaf springs. if that is the case then no pinion angle change other than getting it back to where it should be.
