Spring Rests - Ford 8.8

[Tacfire11]

Swapping a 7.25 with a Ford 8.8. Does anyone know how far the spring rests have to move between the two Rears.

Thanks Guys and Gals,

Pat

Not sure what body style you are working with - In any event take a tape measure - and measure the distance from the outside of one leaf spring to the inside of the other leaf spring straight across. This will give you the center point for the axle saddle mounts. Dont forget the u joint angle measure ment as well when you attach the new mounts.
