Your rear spring have to bend forward a little bit due to where the upper perches are located. By moving them directly above your rear axle you get better articulation & alignment..
The purpose of relocating the rear upper spring seats is to make the bump stops line up again after raising the pinion.
My LJR has rear spring BOLT ON relocation brackets that appear to be adding 2" lift to the 4.5" springs. Measure 19" mount to mount on the RE springs (Stock at 12" correct)?
Is there a relo bracket that will not add lift, or at least minimal lift to the rear. I can find a pal with welding skills if necessary. I'll be changing springs soon to a RockJock/Savvy setup and would like to keep the springs at or near their advertised height and understand there are benefits to the relocation.
Thanks.
That’s what I thought, I too thought it odd how springs looked that way, especially 6” lift spring. I just don’t have the budget to get a welder yet, I can ask my tranny buddy, but I will wait to ask at least when he is done with diff and paid. I never done any heavy welding. I developed schedules for Hermetic Micro welding electronic subassemblies for military, aerospace, and ?. All Resistance welding, laser weld or furnace seal. Always wanted to learn MIG. What do you recommend for a job like this? MIG required? I will keep it in mind as I progress.
