The springs and tires made a huge difference in the "feel' of the road. It's not nearly as "bouncy" as it was with the tired (old) springs.

Mike, where do you find the "Ford Specs" for ride height? Are they available for other years, say '39?

They are available for each and every year.
Engineering drawings provide all of the overall specifications for the bodies.
