Re: axle mounting advice

You can use Moroso or other mounts that you can usually get locally though a parts house that sells speed parts or one that handles Moroso parts but if you are up to fabricating your own I'd say go for it.

If you want it to sit as close to the stock height that it did before measure from the spring to the center line of the original axle and use that height to figure out where to set the cut out for your axle housing in the pad you fab up.
Remember you need to drill the hole for the spring bolt aproximately 1-3/4 inches in front of the center line of the axle in the pad to center the axle in the wheel opening but you may want to make sure of that before doing the drilling.
