My 24 Dodge Bros has a super heavy frame compared to my A. It is a parallel leaf suspension car though. Fords have the cross spring. I have been told that the frame on a Ford was part of the suspension, meant to twist a bit. On the parallel leaf its not meant to give. Don't know if this is true but it makes sense to me.
