Ideally, you need the '55 first springs. The mounting holes in the '53 springs are forward of the center of the springs. The '55.1 springs have the hole almost centered. I have read of people drilling new mounting holes and I have read of people mounting the springs reversed. The latter will move the axles aft of the stock location. | | |
