My grand parents owned a dry cleaners in wickenburg for 15+ years. I know that area well. Goldrushdays is always a blast too. Nothing beats Shriners doing wheelies on vw trikes.

Rear Leaf Spring Drop Hangers

Post by VintageIronFab »

Here are the rear leaf spring drop hangers that I built. Hopefully these get me 3" lift on the rear but I dont want to spend the cash on the leafs at this point. In the future I want to run longer shackles anyway. Just made out of some 1/8" plate and some 1/4" angle iron. The Kel-fab units are so sexy and probably will get as set of those at some point. If the lift for some reason is sits too tall the beauty here is I can just just build longer shackles to lower the rear end. Hopefully this all works out .... hopefully :-)

Any plans to reinforce that rear shock mount once mounted?? I had my first mount built like this and it failed pretty quickly. A lot of load on that center disconnect. Just a thought.........
