Re: Rear axle lowering brackets.

Fred, I'm finally getting around to installing my set. Does the hole for the locating pin go towards the front or the back of the truck? I know you've answered this before, but I couldn't find one of the older threads :/ Please and thanks!

Re: Rear axle lowering brackets.

Awesome! Thank you, Fred. I'll be sure to post pics when I'm done :)

Re: Rear axle lowering brackets.

By the way, is there a trick to getting the springs back in? I didn't realize the hanger's are pre-loaded and I'm having a sweet ***** of a time getting them bolted up =/

Re: Rear axle lowering brackets.

How much did you lower the front? And how did you do it?

Re: Rear axle lowering brackets.

2.5" dropped spindles from McGaughy's and springs out of a '66 Buick LeSabre with 2.5 coils cut from them. Gave me almost 6" of drop. Rides really nice.

Re: Rear axle lowering brackets.

I have four sets left in this batch. I am wanting to sell them this holiday weekend. Memorial Day sale price,,, $35.00 per set shipped. Thanks, Fred.
