Has anyone installed Cal-tracs with US Car Tool spring relocation boxes? Wouldn't mind seeing how you trimmed the boxes for the pivot clearance.

Yeah, I know about that but it doesn't solve the issue. That pivot s made to fit inside the box which is great BUT the bolt and nut that the lower link attach to will interfere with the box if its not trimmed. I want to see what others have done

I also did not trim my sons on his inboard spring move. His Cal-tracs fit with no binding of bolts or brackets.
