I'd leave them like they are. It's going to ride like a dump truck anyways.

 

haha ya your right its gona ride like **** but its gone be street and mud flats so it will be good

 

Now that was some funny ****!

 

I bet runnign the old stock pack from teh scout it will be pretty soft for a leaf sprung front end. Jus tmake sure you get your measurments in properly to have a 45* shackle angle and it should be pretty good.

 

ya but the way it sits now with the v8 it hardly moves when i jump on it and also just so you all know I'm going with the shackles up front so i can have the right angle for my axle

 

?

What are you using for spring perches?

When I built my leaf spring Saumrai I ended up having to widen the frame so I could get the springs far enough apart to use a full width 44.

 

I'm getting ready to go on lucy and pick me up some steel for the front perches acutely I'm gone widen it to have my springs fit on the side off the diff so i don't have to use the flat part of the 44 leaf spot I'm going this in this pic I'm gone post

 

I'm doing what this guy did just gone build my own like he did

 

Just so you know, you can set the angle of the axle by the angle of the mounts you weld on... So either way it can have the 45* shackle front or rear of the spring.

 

ya i know but i don't want my leaf spring to look like its super low in the back and high up font on the shackles

 

They won't be if you build the mounts right.

 

the scout springs are kinda short so my rear mount will prob be where the frame starts to bend up no measurements yet tonight i will have some

 

Haha, yea I don't even have a build thread over there

 

Lol, yeah I want to enjoy my time not be judged cause I didn't have one off chromoly axles made for my d 60

 

I just saw some 63" tall equipment tires on Craigslist. I think the OP should run them.
