A model A cross member sits up front and holds the Posies chrome leaf springs mounted behind the Super Bell drilled axle. Pete and Jakes Viper Hair Pins keep everything aligned.Mounting the springs behind the axles gets the truck a much lower look but required a lot of frame fabrication and modification, like notching the rails, lengthening the steering arms and mounting the spring perches to the batwings and also raising the motor mounts to keep the motor from rubbing the pavement.
