    Could be the titan kit or the broco or f150 kit. That front spring hanger looks more like the one in the bronco kit but its hard to tell with the small picture

    Doesn't look like he has 4" to move them forward but even if he did wouldn't the leafspring eye end up sitting on the frame at ride height, or be close to it?

    not with a properly arched f67..these are proven numbers that work ..shackle should be around a 45 degree angle at ride height...shackle should damn near hit the frame at full bump if not tap it a little

    Yeah I don't have room to move 4" forward, if at all.

    Just to move it forward, I'd have to cut the cage and weld in a new mount and most likely mount the cage to the top of the mount:

    7d080c82_ebb9daaab8f731e6d3a8a3297d1353a452328de6.jpg


    Second problem being my rear bumper. My rear bumper also acts as an additional cross member and you can see bolts right under my cage. If I move the shackle forward, under droop it will come in contact with the bumper. Without significant rework, I think I'm screwed.

    Do you have room in your wheel well to move the axle back? Maybe you could move your front spring hanger back some.

    Touche.
    However I think they are as far back as they can go. Any farther and they would start moving up the frame:

    If you moved your front spring hangers back and up the frame and got the 50T pack you could probably keep your ride height closer to what it is now and fix your shackle angle at the same time.

    If the axle goes back 4" he will probably run into driveline problems

    True. Extended driveshafts aren't hard to get though and fairly inexpensive. Surely it would be easier and cheaper than moving the shackle mount forward

    Moving the front spring hanger begets another problem as my bolt in sliders are tied into it. For my purposes, I don't need every single inch of travel out of this truck. I'm less than 0.5" shy of 16" as it sits right now and the truck does perform well. My concern was I wanted to run a second spare and I didn't want the rear much lower than it sits now. I'm thinking if I leave everything as-is and throw in the 50T it might be just about right. :notsure:

    I might also just take it to a local fab shop and get their input.

    Thanks for all the help/feedback guys!
