Bought a 1952 Chevy truck recently and have had to straighten out some problems a few at a time. I have problem with the front end bottoming out, upon a closer inspection the shocks are leaking and the bumper stops are about an 1 1/2" from the frame. It was suggested to replace the 4" shackle with a 6" shackle to increase clearance in this area or remove the rubber stop. Is 3" between the frame and stop with proper gas shocks sufficient to preclude this from happening again, also is the small metal assembly that is shaped like a pyramid that holds the stop removable from the top of the spring, as that part also holds the top of the u bolts as they goe over the top of the leaf spring. I am in Corpus Christi and shop assist is really non existant, hope you guys can help. Thanks HUGH
