hotrodsonoma · 01-22-2011, 03:15 PM

wow been awhile on this thing.got new tires mounted.also new leafs,robbed them to go under BLUE chevy.

got front bumper finished also.pics within the next cpl days.

been working on other unfinished rigs as well at the same time.

Looks like you need to make one of your leafs hangers stationery. If you have shackles on both ends it will allow the leafs to move around and your axles will move and change your WB as you drive. You can use the single hole TLT brackets for them, thats what alot of folks use. Other than that it is looking real good

thanks man.and yeah i have one end of the hangers binded down so it stays stationery.but thought about going with the tlt stay instead.then i will have some extra hangers for another build then.
