Someone made it . The car the rear was in might have had long lowering shackles . In a pre 1942 car the spring had a lot of tension on it with stock shackles and no need for a panhard bar
1942 to 48 had a stock panhard bar and longer shackles for a smoother ride.

If you got stock shackles , you need a spring spreader.
