I have a '53 3800 that is getting closer to the road. I'd like to raise the front end about 2", just so it sits more level and has a little more clearance at the tires. I had planned to put a 2" block between the springs and axle until I read that blocks should never be used on a front axle because of the added leverage during cornering and braking. Is a block ok on a truck with 4 wheel drums that can only go 45 mph? Whats my alternative? I suppose I could have the springs re-arched? Even an inch would help if 2" is too much.
