    Operation Uber Leaf Spring Flex is under way...

    Plan:
    1/4" plate boxed rear frame
    2" x .125" box tube crossmember 1.5" aft of axle
    Re-built 63" Chevies (2 leaves each)
    3/8", 6" eye-to-eye
    1/4" plate front hangers 7.75" foward. Frenched into frame?
    1.5" x .125" cradles with Ballistic 2.63" creeper joints for shackle hangers
    Custom u-bolt flip with 3/8" plate
    re-locate e-brake cable to follow spring (to allow full droop)
    Triangulate 14" 2.0 Fox Pro Series Shox




    So far....

    Took apart the chevies I got from the junk yard about 10 months ago.... :eek:
    [​IMG]

    attaked them with a wire wheel

    self-etching primer and some black gloss

    burned out the old, cracked bushings
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    removed my old suspension and ground off extra crap...

    See, that's my main worry... I'm hangin on to the third leafs just in case I need to stick them back in. An anti-wrap bar would be ideal...

    I've seen people run 2 leaves in the 63" chevies before... Not sure if they had that problem though. :notsure: I just think it might work ok for me since I'm so light in the rear.
