Here is a picture of my hybrid front springs. they have enough lift for my to run 37's granted I'm running a 3inch body lift they work with 35's and no body lift. I like them they give me about 3 to 4 inches of lift and flex extremely well. I'm running 6 leafs as well on mine

this picture doesn't really show how far they can flex but it was the best one I could find

all in all I think you'll be pleased. What are you running out back?

Makohon · « **Reply #33 on:** Jan 17, 2006, 03:13:35 PM »

here are the shackles i made las nite... more like this mornin and some spacers, the shackles are 6'' eye to eye and 1/4 inch thick.... i also powder coated the shackles... came out nice.. had to put another layer on today to make it thicker..... also got some tubing to make the tubes that go through the frame

gotrocks · « **Reply #35 on:** Jan 18, 2006, 02:35:55 PM »

nice shackles

oh and I'll take some pictures of my front pack on the rig to try and get a idea of how much arch they have sorry they aren't out of the truck but I didn't take a picture of them before I mounted them up. You're look very close if not the same as mine did before I mounted them though

Makohon, shiat's looking good man.
Coming along pretty quick. Makes me feel like a slow poke. I am running my rears up front as well, I have not got the whole pack completed but with the first three springs in an 85 rear pack, the pack sit's about 1/2" higher than the 4" pro comps I have. I will probley run a five leaf pack.

Makohon · « **Reply #37 on:** Jan 18, 2006, 09:02:42 PM »

Looking good. I've seen a lot of sas projects, but never 2wd to 4wd. Should be interesting. You are doing one hell of an outstanding job fabbing up all the parts so far.
Pics of my rears up front.

This is what they look like in action.

Oh yeah, your fender cutting looks great.

kneedownnate · « **Reply #42 on:** Jan 19, 2006, 09:23:47 PM »

Rockhound, it almost looks like you straight swapped in rears. How did you set yours up? I like the height yours are sittin at.

Kneedown,
Yes indeed, they bolt right in, but they are longer. You just need some banana shackles.

Here's a link to the build

Any trail run, on my site, before the AP run recently, are all with the Frankensprings. The AP Hammer run was the first with Marlin's 4".

Looking pretty good, I think I would cut it right along the body line about 1-2"s where you have cut it now. Toy's have the easiest frnders to cut, just follow the body line.

Makohon · « **Reply #45 on:** Jan 20, 2006, 12:25:30 PM »

damn its about time i get some responses people $Beer Chug\'n$ naaaa just kidding but ya i was thinkin about doin the body line but its not streight... like it is on an angle.... u get what im sayin?? i just didnt want it to angle down...

kneedownnate · « **Reply #57 on:** Apr 29, 2006, 09:32:22 PM »

Lookin good man! Atleast the rear should be cake compared to the front. I wonder how many people will be perplexed by the control arm being hooked up still
