Re: 51 Chevy on a Ford Explorer Subframe - Time for a Different Frame Swap!

So, at first thought, you are absolutely correct. What I'm thinking, at this point, is 2.5" lowering springs with a spacer between the 'cup' at the top of the shock tower and the tower itself, thus effectively negating the 'drop' the springs give but removing the height above the tower. Of course, shorter shocks will be required. We'll look at this later but should give a slightly lower bed height than the S10...
