63" spring question

[big83chevy4x4]

couldn't find it searching,

where is the centering pin in relation to the spring, is it centered? offset? if offset how much front or back?

1st = 64" springs.

2nd = dead middle

thanks, maybe thats why i couldn't find it.

but i can't use the 64"s unless i move my gas tank or extend my wheelbase, which neither is gonna happen.

or move the front hanger forward as well...

 

[big83chevy4x4]

if i move the front hanger forward, it will hit the gas tank. being that i have 2 new 20gal saddle tanks, i would like to use them. otherwords id get a cell and put it in the bed.

how about 56s? or furd 57s

 

[jekquistk5]

56's thats what I'm doing, and 52's up front. Are you still going for 6" of lift

Why not inboard mount the springs?

 

[big83chevy4x4]

i have 56" rear springs.
jess, i have the TC 6" front springs here, i just need to figure how to get 6" rear without any blocks, already have the shackle flip (which im gonna rebuild). my original plan was to get some 64" and move the front hanger down as well as forward. but the bottom of the hanger is already even with the tank. i don't want it lower than that.

what ill probably end up doing is buying some 2-3" lift rear 56" springs.

So inboard mount the springs for more flex and use the frame rails as a skid plate to transfer to the leafs?

Sounds good, what do you want for your existing 56's(I think thats what you had on there)

thats alot of unnecessary work when the gains of inboarding is not what the final goal is.

the only reason i though 64"s is im pretty sure that they have more arch to them compared to the 56" that i have now. thats all im looking for, more wheel travel (not flex) and alittle more lift.

Jess, we can work something out tomorrow. ill have 2 sets when i get that frame with or without axles.

Oh fair enough.
