    offset hanger pinion angle problem

    I got to comparing parts, and the new shackles are 12" longer than the old ones. also, the offset hangers raise the front eye 1/2" closer to the car. seems to me this is going to put about 2" less pinion angle in it, but I already checked it before disassembly, and it was 5 degrees, so I used...

    leaf spring woes...now that it's all apart

    well....got the woman out there tonight recoating my wheelwells while I messed with the stock springs... my initial thoughts were to take them apart, blast them, repaint them, put in new rub pads, and clamp the front segments they are 5-leaf with the bottom leaf pointing forward on both of...

    5/8 fine thread leaf spring front eye bolts

    I know i can cut the nout off the offset hangers and weld on coarse thread nuts, but i'd like to keep the nuts that came on them. I can't find any 5/8", fine thread bolts for it, though......... also...whether i find the right bolts or not, is grade 5 good enough for the front eye bolts?

    what are these leaf springs???

    i think they're stock, but i can't find anything on them.... the number ends in 043....on both of them they both are 5 leaf A-body springs, and both of them have the front end of the second leaf below the front spring eye, and their bottom leafs are facing forward, with no protrusion out the...

    making my own nylon front eye bushings....have questions

    OK...i have some white, blue, and black nylon round stock. before i put it in the lathe to bore the bolt hole, I wanted to ask about whether or not I need a sleeve. My "mopar guy" boss at work says not, and that the aluminum ones just have it because aluminum galls.... also, if I DO need a...

    offset shackles or into the frame-rail??

    OK....I only HAVE to have 1/2" more clearance, so the offset hangers will get it for me....but should I go ahead and move them into the leaf springs instead? i know that will provide for more clearance in the future, but i don't forsee anything larger than the 275/50-15s on it now. besides...
