rear QP mod conclusion

[blt2krl]

are they the factory springs minus the spring clamps? I bent my clamps up to keep the springs from faning left to right, but still allow them to seperate a bit.

I had to cut off my spring clips when I did the AAL. I replaced them with an "L" bracket. Just wrapped it around the spring pack and welded it together. I like the quarters, great idea.

Those quarters are a great idea...will do it on my upcoming chero.

wanted to say that looks great. i hate the overhang on the wags...and the fact that you can beat on it inspires me to do it!!

great job!! thanks for sharing.

[robselina]

Thanks guys!

They're rusty's 4" lift springs. They have a very thick overload leaf, that's what moves. I'm swaping axles really soon by the looks of it, so I'll tighten down that center pin then. Thanks for the tip on that. I'll see what I can find in the way of clamps too, these springs have them, but they don't cover the overload spring.

I found some other pics of this mod sitting in my webspace, so I figured I'd post them in. Most where meant to show something else, but you can see this just as well.











Sorry Merc, that was probably WAY more pictures than you wanted

Thats pretty tight Rob. I'll probably to that to Sarge before I'm done...lol

Great minds think alike, I did the exact same thing to mine. Worked great

[chief-runs-with-deere]

That is a great idea. i will be doing that when I trim my fenders, to make room for my 38's. nice job

I did basically the same thing on my choptop. One of the limiting factors is the gas filler lines running thru the inner fender at the bottom. Unless you relocate the lines but that was a whole 'nother can o worms.
