front sway bar will be bigger diameter, and if big block will have 9/16 rear sway bar, small blocks have rear bar also in some years, rear spring will be 7 leaf, stock is 9 leaf, what year car do you have/

7 leaf is correct. Also shocks are different and the ride is extremely harsh on uneven roads (pretty much everything here in Kal-y-for-neaa). Mine bucks and shudders most times, but on a good road it makes up for it big time...

Re: F41 suspension? (brs6482)
How do i tell by looking if i have an F41 suspension? I was told that if you have 7 leaf and coil spring count then it is a F41?? True??
Here are the numbers and specs on F41. The consensus of many is that no small block including the ZR1s were ever delivered with an F41 suspension. In fact, F41, was a standard big block suspension broadcast when a big block RPO was specified.
Front Sway Bar: 3831972 15/16"
Rear Sway Bar:3923676 9/16"
Rear Spring: 3828811 7 Leaf
Front Springs: 3832518 EA 550
Front Shock: 3171488
Rear Shock: 3171489

Mine is a 1969 small block, it has 7 count springs front and rear. But i got this car up north (michigan) about 2 years ago and it is so rusted underneath i would never be able to find any numbers on any of the components.

Then what you have is either a small block in a big block chassis or a small block with a heavy duty rear leaf spring.

I sure I have ask this question before but somehow I lost the information-too much to learn. I believe the proper rims for 1967 vette with F41 suspension were 15" x 6". I would like to know the proper size tire they used in this combo
Can anyone advise
Thanks
