TLT axles with high lift springs question

[rcnut38]

Alright, I did do a search, and turned up empty. I am in the process of building my first leaf scaler. I am using TLT axles, and want to use High Lift springs. I am running the axles upside down so I can use the two holes that are in line on the diff case. Question is, can I mount the springs directly to the case, or do I need a mounting block. Also, will stock High Lift blocks work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

No need to flip the axle, I just drilled mine right through. I also used a 1/4 in Lift block. link to my build> Scout scaler. yup another one.

Here ya go, this might help.
At least give you some idea's.
Those are TLT's with High Lift style
"Diaz" leaf springs(2 hole).

What frame are you using?

Thanks rock runt. That answered my question. I am running the axles upside down for a reason. I will explain later on. Thanks for the help. I am hoping to get by without spacers.

muddauber7, I purchased a prototype Xtrail chassis from The Crawler Store, and used it to pattern a pair of chassis rails. I have sent them out to get them powder coated. I will post some pics when the building begins. I am still waiting for parts, and rounding them up as well. I will keep everyone posted. Thanks for the help.

you can just screw them into the case, no need to use the little block.

Yeah, this is what I have come to learn. Now if the dang springs and mounts would just get here. I got my chassis back from powder coating today, looks awesome. Just playing the hurry up and wait game on parts.
