Doin the 63" Chevy leaf swap.

Yo,
Take off the shocks and see how much flex you have the possibility of. Lookin Good!

Move the shock mount on the axle from under to tube centerline or slightly above. Shouldn't need more than a 12" travel shock in the stock location. If you move them out then you'll eat up 12" travel easily.

Woods-rider - looks good, gained some flex too. Are the shocks to short now? Also, how long are the belltech shackles eye to eye?

Yeah the flex is awesome and ride is great. in that flex pic i still have about 2.5" left of shock travel and the tire is off the ground so i think i am good. I'll keep an eye on it though just to make sure. IIRC the shackles were 7.5" eye to eye. I got about 5 or 6" of lift from this swap and took out a 4" block so i have a little rake now, but a torsion crank can fix that!

yeah i thought about that but they are the shi**y superlift shocks so i think i would just use it as an excuse to upgrade.

How are the rear brake lines at full droop?

 

[Sasquatch_Ryda]

I'm running a stock rear flex line still on mine, i just extended the bracket that it mounts to on the frame as there is alot of hard line up there.

 

[Woods-Rider]

Yeah, there seems to be plenty of line, just had to make a bracket to relocate the mount to the stock position

 

[MEAKIN]

any pics of e-brake extension?

 

[Woods-Rider]

Yeah. It took me a couple of trys since I under estimated the tension on the cable when the brake is engaged.

Here is the gap I had to bridge.

This was my first attempt and obviously didnt hold up.

Second attempt. This one probably would have worked but I ended up welding on a top peice to make it like a piece of angle steel and it has held up just fine. (dont have a pic of it though)

And a whoring pic of my latest creation for good measure.
