SS springs & sliders...

Thanks Blu , no rear bar , I have the SS springs I suppose I should use the lower drivers side for the height ratio eh ? I was typing the same time as you and have already abandoned moving the front I think I will shoot for an inch of movement outboard at the back , not enough to make it rear steer but enough to add a little lateral stiffness maybe ?

I was thinking of fudging to the outside in rear as well for lateral gains but also to make a bit more room for my exhaust. I put the front 3" re-location hanger in parallel with centerline so maybe to not tweak the front eye, Ill just stick with centerline.

Thanks 72Blu!

Remember that if you move the rear of the spring out laterally you'll be cheating yourself out of tire clearance. And yes, if the front hanger mount is parallel with with frame you want to keep your rear mount parallel to it, otherwise you will side load the front spring eye and spring.

As far as lateral stiffness with the SS springs, I don't think it will be much of an issue. They do have a higher arch, but they're stiffer springs with reinforced front sections. The spring rate on them is borderline too high for handling operations already.
