    Leaf spring advise

    If you like the current height, it looks by the picture that you could center the tire in the wheel well by moving the axle forward. Adjusting the location hole on the spring perches will achieve this and is fairly easy to do. Make sure you check the driveshaft as it may need shortened.

    Centering rear wheels in opening.

    I welded the nut to the hanger, this allows it to slip into the hole I put in the frame and be able to tighten the bolt.

    Centering rear wheels in opening.

    The hanger does not add length, it is modified for offset. The spring perch locator moves the axle back. The bottom plate needs the locator hole offset to allow the ubolts to properly align.

    Centering the rear wheels

    I do believe it was an inch. In fact, some spring seats have extra holes that can be used to move the rear forward or back. Again,you must redrill the shock mount to reposition it properly align the u bolts. This requires a spacer to be welded on the mount to allow it to seat against the springs...

    Centering the rear wheels

    I moved mine back by drilling another hole in the spring seats. You must also drill a hole in the shock plates the same amount to allow the u bolts to line up properly. This allowed a 28 inch diameter tire to be used without cutting the front lip on fender. It also centered the tire in rear...

    Idler arm issues

    I recently spent far to many hours massaging a set of hooker 5204's into my 1973 Duster only to find that the idler arm hits one of the tubes turning to the right. Are there any other idlers arms that could replace the stock one to allow more clearance and a tighter right turn? By the way, I...
