USCT inboard kit question

Lol!

The way @younggun2.0 did it is super clean, but you don’t need to section them into the frame rails like that. Even just mounting them to the bottom of the frame rails will lower the car vs. the stock shackle set up. When I did mine it lowered the car about 3/8”, and mine are just mounted to the bottom.

You could just plate that area and add some threaded inserts so they bolted right up!

Also, we both used AFCO sliders that don’t have a built in angle. The Calvert version has some angle built in, which is better for tracking the movement of the spring.

I did it too

Im getting ready to install leaf spring sliders on my 71 cuda project. Glad to see others are using them and seem to be happy with them. Check out the knock off ones if your on a budget. I think I got mine through amazon.

I used them and it worked out nicely, but the bushing were too big for the A body springs. They are aluminum so I rigged them in a drill press and using strips of sandpaper was able to spin them down to the correct diameter. It took a little time to get my rig situated but in the end it worked out fine and they work great.
