Inboarded leaf springs

Also by moving inboard you increase the amount of movement at the tire for the same amount of spring flex.

A buddy of mine helped his buddy (SMP, ex-CK5er) do it on a 72 K5 and if flexed like MAD and was pretty stable from all reports I have heard. Someone on here actually still has the K5 in NorCal I believe. I am not 100% sure who though. It is black with a yellow cage.

EDIT: It is Zcarczar that posted above in this thread.

Yup, thats my dad's truck, we put deaver's on the front a year ago and now it works even better, the truck now flexes almost as good as my buggy and does extremely well with great stability.

I have a few friends that have inboarded springs with no problems, everyone moves them so that they are located directly under the frame, and thus giving about 4" of lift with stock springs. All the trucks work great, and as long as you have a good monotube shock you will not have issues with stability.
 
I was planning on moving them directly under the frame, not actually inside it. I think the term inboarded may have thrown some people off. :rolleyes:

I'm glad to hear it works well for you zcarczar :D
That means it will work for me too.
