1951 Ford Woodie - A Quick & Easy Ifs Upgrade

Insert the supplied coil springs, making sure they're right side up, with the pigtail pointing toward the ball joint.

Next, install the supplied shocks (they'll hold the control arm/coil springs in place), and mount the new spindles to the ball joints.

The rack is mounted once the spindles are in place. Like everything else in the SRE kit, all the hardware is included and assembly is a breeze.

The rod ends are attached to the tie rods and in turn to the spindles.

The bearings are then packed with grease, and the rotors slid into place on the spindles.

Next are the caliper brackets and calipers.

And here you go-a fresh new frame stub, one that's installer-friendly and engineered for years of driving enjoyment.

Back on terra firma, the '51 is looking good and ready for the next phase of its rodstoration. Not bad for a day's work, don't ya think? And though Richard and Matt are professionals, I saw no part of the install that would preclude me from attempting an install of an SRE stub kit on my own. And, at the risk of being repetitive, if I could do it, anybody can-thanks in large part to Street Rod Engineering and the company's 20-year heritage of quality street rod suspension products.
