First of all, thank you guys for all your help. I appreciate your replys to my questions. I was wondering, Is a 4 bar front suspension the same as hairpins?

Rodder's Roundtable / Which size dropped axle to use in my 39 Ford?
December 23, 2004, 02:27:30 AM
Help! I am confused about the length of 4" dropped axle to use in my 1939 Ford traditional style hot rod. I have see lengths from 46" to 47 3/4 " wide. I don't know why there are different lengths. I will be using disk brakes. Which make of axle should I buy? Also... instead of a split wishbone, can I go with hairpins and bat wings like the earlier Fords use? I was told by a local rod shop hairpins are the way to go. I have never seen them used on a fat fendered Fords so I have my doubts. If not, why? Thanx.
