chevy leaf's UNDER frame on a b2

[spdcrazy]

ok i decided to ditch the reverse shackle idea because i would have had about 8in of steel mounted solid to the frame and hanging down on the very back edge, just waiting to grab a rock. with a standard shackle setup, i will be able to adjust height pretty easy, and will help me keep my wheel base the same with these chevy leaf's.

i'm going to build my own shackels instead of use 6400's, that way i can make them parallel, that way when i need to replace bushings, i can just get six chevy leaf spring bushings and call it a day.plus fabbing the shackles will be cake!

its tough finding someone that will weld the brackets on here in flagstaff, might have to drive to phx to get it done.

i just put chevy leafs under my mazda b2600, they were 63 inch leafs i arched them 5 inches the went really nice under my frame and all most looks stock

i'm still looking into this, tho the light seems to be dimming, with the fuel tank sitting pretty close to the frame i'm thinking i'll run into issues with lateral movement on the leafs, debating on having some new flexy leafs built and running a custom drop bracket in the back and adding just a bit of length as well. of course i'll build it where i don't have to use the block also
