When installing lifted rear leaf springs, it&#39s best to rotate the pinion so it points directly at the rear transfer case output flange and use a CV style drive shaft. The best way to rotate the pinion is to cut off the old perches and weld in a new set at the proper angle. Normally the spring pin is installed in the center hole but you can also move the rear axle forward or backward 1&#34 by using the optional holes. Made from 1/4 plate steel. Unpainted finish.

When building a flexible suspension it is important to have plenty of shock travel. Stock length shocks simply won&#39t travel far enough to keep up with our flexible springs. We recommend shocks with 12&#34-14&#34 of travel. Our tall hoops will accommodate 14&#34 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&#34 shocks without cutting the inner fenders. Weld on installation. Unpainted finish.
