Installing longer rear springs requires moving the rear spring hangers forward on the frame. The factory hangers are too thin to cut off and reuse. These hangers weld under the frame, forward of the stock units. Holes on top of hangers allow rosette welds. Made from 1/4" plate steel. Much stronger then stock hangers. 18mm bolt holes. Unpainted finish.
When building a flexible suspension it is important to have plenty of shock travel. Stock length shocks simply won't travel far enough to keep up with our flexible springs. We recommend shocks with 12"-14" of travel. Our tall hoops will accommodate 14" Bilstein Shocks and require the inner fender to be cut and shocks installed with the top above the inner fender.. Our Medium Hoops will accommodate 12" shocks without cutting the inner fenders. Weld on installation. Unpainted finish.
If you're installing longer rear springs you may need to relocate your rear shackle mount. You can do this by cutting off the original units with a die grinder and then welding them back on. You can also cut off the old ones and install new ones. Our shackle mounts use OEM bushings and are much stronger then stock units. Made from 1/4" plate steel. Unpainted finish.
