spring over rear?

[bad_religion_au]

how much lift do you get from purely SOA the rear? using same springs mounted in the same way?

5-6 inches

but you can move the front bracket vertical on the frame and bring it down as little as (guessing) 3 inches, and by move, i mean most like make a new one

Just measure the distance from the bottom of the leaf pack to the top of the housing where your new spring perch would mount. Say the leaf pack is 1.5" thick + 3" axle housing + SUA spring perch heigth 3/4" + new SOA spring perch heigth 3/4" =>

1.5 + 3 + 3/4 + 3/4 = 6"

Are you just spring over the rear? I bought a 40 with spring over rear, 4 inch spring lift front, plus long front shackles, for a total of 5 or 6 in lift. Weird set up, but the rear flexes like a motha. Need to spring over the front, which is a lot more work and I'm lazy and stupid. P.S. with sprung over rear, use shims to rotate the housing or get severe drive line angles.

How do you know?

Why not just weld the perches at whatever angle you want?

Because that would make sense, be less time consuming, and more durable. Good point.

i was thinking about it, as my rear is really sagged out, and my front is fine.

Bwhahahaa.

6 inches...in actual measurement, not male measurement and the rear doesn't need shims, but as stated, adjust the pinion to the appropriate angle before welding, front technically needs cut and turn. my "dad" and i have done three without cut/turn to no ill effects however.
