Leaf spring and shackle, how much space?


Recommended Posts

Space wise they are like the Crown's I bought a few years ago.  Returned them.  You could put washers in them to take up the space or find an alternative.  Otherwise it seems you would get a rapid wear pattern due to the slosh in the action of the spring on the bolt.  Tightening it down might work okay but there is going to be some odd wear there too.  Washers would remedy any threading problem if there is one.

Thanks for the input guys, much better with washers, finally finished/torqued down. Got to go for a ride and it was good. Prob not for the guy that crashed his Corvette C3 into a pole on an empty 3 lane road tho.8557c2528ffd3325734b011c0eb67051.jpg
