Trailing Arm Crossmember Brackets

[paulkaminskijr]

So I'm currently doing a long to short bed conversion on my '70 C10 and while I have it apart, I want to get started on the suspension. I'm planning on lowering the truck 6-8 inches. I've seen the anti-squat brackets that relocate the trailing arm up on the crossmember. I'm curious if everything would clear if I removed the stock bracket and just flipped it upside down and bolting it in. Has anyone done this and does it work/clear?

Also if anyone has trailing arms they are trying to sell, one of mine is no bueno.

Thanks in advance.

Yep, it's been done. I'm planning to do it myself this winter as I convert my leaf springs to coil springs (and 6" drop). Just remove all the rivets, and bolt it back "upside down".

Here is a discussion on it:

There are probably other threads too, that's just the first one I found.
