Does anyone have before and after pics of a rear leaf spring relocation kit installed? I want to see what is involved with this. Thanks.:happy1:

I think the site is bigblockdart.com
There is a pretty good write up there about it, with pics. Someone else that is more familiar with the other sites will surely chime in, but pretty sure thats it.

if you're not comfortable with cyustom fab work, cutting part of the frame or welding. You better pay some one that is. I fell I personally could do it, but ill probably pay someone for this type of job so I dont screw the car up.

Yes, they are great pics. Thanks guys! Just waiting to order my boxes from RMS. Has anyone used the RMS bearing sliders for the rear hangers? Any pics of those?

i have the exact set up your talking about. i moved the front spring eye location up into the frame as much as physically possible. I also notched the rear frame rail 1" and tucked the sliders up into the frame. i installed 1/4 reinforcement plates around the sliders on both sides. doing this meant that i had to channel the rear factory spring mount box as well. here are some pictures.

Shouldn't the front bracket be in be in the middle of the frame and not off center?

they get rid of any side to side deflection. from what I understand they gained popularity from the circle track circuits. i used them because they deleted the rear shackle and effectively lowered the rear end of the car by bringing the rear spring eye mounting point up into the car.

No then the leaf springs will not line up with the relocation boxes properly.
