Leaf springs where is everyone putting them?
 

Folks,
Since I smashed most of my triangulated 4 link in my crash. I am installing a leaf spring set up. I currently am thinking under the frame, but I've seen some of you go inside or outside of the frame. Just wanting to see different set ups.
Thanks

what vehicle is this on? do you want to go with a stock location & springs or some other set up?

52 chevy 3100 stock ish location but I no longer have the stock mounting brackets

A quick internet search shows Chassis Enginering has a mount kit & springs. Springs mount under the chassis.
There are also kits available to mount S10 springs.
I would stay with springs mounted under the chassis. Mounting them outboard reduces how wide a tire you can install. Mounting them inside would require boxing the frame.

I set mine under the frame. I used 3" lowered leaf springs for a Ranger and I mounted the top of the shackle up in the frame to get it low without blocks. Haven't driven it yet so don't know what the ride is like.

Too bad you are not closer to me, I have the pair
I took off my truck (which were re-sprung) that you
could have for the taking with the front spring bracket's
included.

I've been eyeballing a little Dodge mini ram van that I have out here that is a storage shed with wheels but those Mopar mini vans have rear leaf springs and brackets that all unbolt from the van and former research says that they come in two lengths depending on if it is a Caravan or grand caravan.

We had a thread on it several years ago.
