2.1 Suspension System
WARNINGS:
Do not modify, drill, cut or weld any
suspension components, specifically the
steering gear system, subframe or
anti-roll bars, springs or shock absorbers
including mounting brackets.
The rear leaf springs are pre-stressed in
manufacture and should not be altered
for rate or height in any way during vehicle
conversion. Adding or removing leaves
may result in failure or reduced function
of the spring as well as other vehicle
related issues for which Ford Motor
Company cannot be held responsible.
CAUTIONS:
Modifications to the suspension system
can cause a deterioration of the vehicle
handling characteristics and durability.
When carrying out welding work the
springs must be covered to protect them
against weld splatter.
Do not touch springs with welding
electrodes or welding tongs.
NOTE:
Do not modify the wheelbase or add any
type of frame extension to vehicles fitted with
Electronic Stability Program (ESP).
NOTE:
Do not damage the surface or corrosion
protection of the spring during disassembly and
installation.
NOTE:
Do not add any additional axles.
