ideas on max travel spring under lift
ive posted before on this topic and blkranger was much help, however i am ready to find some leafsprings and shackles for my 94 ranger, i have a 99 eexplorer axle sprung under with regular ranger leafs and it sits much too low, i was just wondering if anyone has any knowledge of some leafsprings that would lift my truck up, besides giants 64in kit. ideas on new mounts would help too thanks

So here is what Im thinking what if you was do a shackle reversal, and a shackle drop, and jeep spring under leaf springs. Now I cant remember what the eye to eye are these are so Im gunna dig up some more info. you can also call up Alcan (www.alcanspring.com ) for a custom set.

Re: ideas on max travel spring under lift

Re: ideas on max travel spring under lift
I think you can find them at rough country, we ordered ours from BTF (blue torch fab).

Re: ideas on max travel spring under lift
you could just get some better leafs. a shackle doesn't help the fact that those are weak leafs. could look at an AAL or a set of new leafs and stacking them with yours for more lift.

Re: ideas on max travel spring under lift
ill eventually find some chevy leafs, but just ordered some boomerang shackles for a cj's rear. yeeee hopefully this will seperate my axle from the frame some so i dont have to cut my frame =X

Re: ideas on max travel spring under lift
ok so i have the shackles, are they just going bolt right onto my existing mounts? i cant go out and look right now its just dumping rain.... >:(
can i just remove the old shackles and bolt these right in? |
Re: ideas on max travel spring under lift
Yeah the booms replace the stock shackles.

Re: ideas on max travel spring under lift
bam! it went well. they're in there and helped about 2" but made a world of difference in the ride quality. definatly going to get some chevy 64" leafs because its still sagging...soon as i can figure out how to post pix i will
well here are the links anyways. http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...ger2011029.jpg http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...ger2011031.jpg http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...ger2011028.jpg http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...ger2011030.jpg |

Sweet cant wait to see it

Re: ideas on max travel spring under lift
i dont know how to get the pix to just show but i added the links to the previous reply
|
Re: ideas on max travel spring under lift
so if i measure from the front of the leafs to the rear bolt where it connects to the boomerang, that's how long of a leaf i can run right? and then if i really wanted cut the rear mounts and flip them over and mount them again i would get even more travel? muhaaha
like this idea hope noone minds borrowing the link http://www.therangerstation.com/tech...inch_leaf.html |
