1936 Ford Sedan Spindles
I have a 36 Street Rod with front Lowering Spindles. The car is to low on the front. I want to raised it up in the front 2-3 inches. The car has everything Ford with a mustang 2 front end. What should I do to raise the car. QA1 shocks and coilovers or find a stock spindle. If so what spindle should I use. Thanks. I need some help.

Re: 1936 Ford Sedan Spindles
36 spindles are not going to help you any, you need mustang spindles.

Re: 1936 Ford Sedan Spindles
I was looking online at mustang 2 spondles. Do recommend a particular brand. How much do you think the front will raise up. It's so low I can't get a front wheel alignment. Thanks.

Re: 1936 Ford Sedan Spindles
I'm not sure, you need to determine what you have now and compare that to a stock spindle.

Re: 1936 Ford Sedan Spindles
Just did a search online for mustang II spindles, there are a lot of images with dimensions. Might be able to figure out what you have from that information. A street rod site might be more helpful as to what works best.

Re: 1936 Ford Sedan Spindles
A stock Mustang II spindle should raise your car 2 inches. I rarely sold the dropped spindles on any of the 35/40 customer chassis that we built in our shop as they just seemed to low for most drivers

Re: 1936 Ford Sedan Spindles
I'd just hunt for a nice pair of OEM spindles. Clean them up. have them Magnafluxed just for peace of mind and install them. I see them at swap meets for just a few dollars. I actually used to throw them away at one time. Check E-Bay lots of spindles on there but make sure they're forged. You may need a different caliper mounting kit?

The swapmeets we have here in MD. Don't usually have street Rod parts. I will check eBay. Thanks

Re: 1936 Ford Sedan Spindles
You going to run the same tires? You could probable raise it a few inches with some decent tires. Welcome to the new Ford barn...

Re: 1936 Ford Sedan Spindles
It looks like it needs a combination of taller tires and stock mustang II spindles to me. Just tires may create a clearance issue with the fender.

Re: 1936 Ford Sedan Spindles
Slant, I have a set of stock height M2 spindles from a Heidts kit I would sell if interested, let me know and I will dig them out of the attic to measure.
