Leaf Spring relocation pics? - 09/15/09 04:02 AM
I am planning on doing a Spring relocation in the coming weeks on my Valiant.
I would be curious to see pics of peoples installs. I plan on putting mine to the inside of the frame rails so I can notch the rails.

Wedgie, that looks very similar to the way I did the last car.

67 Valiant, minitubbed and springs relocated into the frame with a Mopar kit. I used a steel rod to keep everything square until it was all tacked in place. Then you have to CUT the rod to get it out!

When I relocated my front spring hangers, I was not satisfied with the inside unsupported hanger, and I added a gusset seen in the attached pic. Just a thought.

If you are running a fuel cell I don't think there's an issue as to whether you mount the box on the outer or inner wall of the stock frame rail. But if you are running a stock tank, I think you need to mount the box so its flush with the inner wall of the frame rail, otherwise you may have clearance issues between the leaf spring and the sides of the gas tank.

I have seen instances where people will shorten the tank to clear the leaf spring.

I know in my case, the factory tank isn't an issue as I will be running a fuel cell.
What plate thickness is used for the spring boxes?
