Description
The 1928–1934 Ford Car SuperSlide Front Leaf Spring for 31-1/2" Spring Perch Centers by Posies (#1001 Series) is an industry-standard front transverse leaf spring engineered specifically for early Ford hot rod front suspension setups. Designed to maximize ride comfort, eliminate leaf binding, and offer precise ride-height tuning, this series is crafted for builds utilizing stock early Ford front axles (1928–1936) or aftermarket axles with matching perch center distances.
Product Overview & Axle Fitment
The #1001 series features a 31-1/2" eye-to-eye measurement, designed specifically for:
Over-the-Axle Installation: Pair with stock early Ford front axles featuring a 36-1/2" perch boss center distance mounted in 1928–1934 Ford chassis.
Behind-the-Axle Installation: Pair with a 34-1/2" spring perch distance when constructing a spring-behind-the-axle front end setup.
Important Fitment Note: If you are using a custom or aftermarket dropped stock Ford axle, Posies recommends using the #1002 series (31" spring) instead. Dropping an OEM axle can narrow the perch distance slightly, where the 1/2" shorter spring provides superior shackle angle and clearance.
1001 Series Stance & Spring Rate Configurations
Posies offers the #1001 front spring in four distinct eye and spring rate options to match your vehicle's engine weight, body style, and desired ground clearance:
Reversed Eye (P/N 1001): The most popular configuration for Small Block V8s (SBC/SBF) and fendered street rods. Features a 3-1/4" free arch, lowering the front profile while maintaining proper fender clearance.
Low Reversed Eye (P/N 1001L): Sits 1" lower than the standard reversed eye spring with a 2-1/4" free arch. Engineered as the lowest-riding multi-leaf spring available for highboys and fenderless hot rods. (Note: Requires a frame notch directly above the spring for clearance).
Stock Eye (P/N 1001S): Features a 4-1/4" free arch to preserve traditional factory ride height or provide additional oil pan and ground clearance.
Reversed Eye Heavy (P/N 1001H): Utilizes the standard reversed eye geometry paired with an increased spring rate, specifically engineered for heavy front ends (Big Block V8s, Supercharged/Blown engines, or Chrysler Hemis).
Key Features & Design Highlights
SuperSlide Inter-Leaf Technology: Features Posies' exclusive moly-nylon buttons between leaf tips to eliminate metal-on-metal friction, binding, rust, and squeaks.
Precision Tempered Steel Construction: Crafted in the USA from premium tempered spring steel, hand-assembled, and tour-tested across over 100,000 miles of real-world driving.
Smooth Damping & Road Compliance: Custom-contoured for early Ford front weight distribution, providing a significantly softer, more compliant ride compared to rigid factory multi-leaf packs.
