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.
Trail-Gear – Shackle Mounts (Pair)
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.
Trail-Gear – U-Bolt Flip Kit 79-83 Solid Front Axle
U-bolt flip kits help increase ground clearance under your rig. Stock u-bolts face down and offer a snag point for rock and trail debris. Our u-bolt flip kit point the spring bolt up and out of harm way. This results in better ground clearance and less damage to the thread section of the bolt. Each kit contains two flip plates and four 9/16" bolts with nuts and washers. Front kits will accommodate spring packs up to 2" thick. Rear kit will accommodate spring packs up to 2.5" thick. Crossover steering required for installation of flip kit. Unpainted finish.
