Re: Coil Spring Question
It may be easier to just relocate the spring. Maybe fab some brackets on the axle tube and coresponding location on the frame or a crossmember. Something like on a Chevelle and Impala.

Re: Coil Spring Question
Thanks Fab. That is about what i have come to the conclusion of doing. It would not be hard to move them inboard and that would allow me to still run my stock suspension. I was thinking if there was a spring out there with a smaller diameter that would be a quick change out, that would be the simplest way to go. I'm sure there is one but it would take me forever to find it, LOL.

Re: Coil Spring Question
If you move the springs inward you will be putting a torsional load into the track arms, verses the stock design loading the track arm right over the web of the "I-beam" track arm. Consider changing the track arm bushings to poly and buying a track arm reinforcement kit, or look at some tubular track arms. A boxed structure handles torsion better than an I-beam.
