Hello all,
I am building a Super Street with camaro front clip, tube chassis with 2x4 frame rails. My questions are: 1) When installing the front leaf mounts should I evenly space the mounts out from the driveshaft then the center them between the frame rails. My ford 9in has 2in offset(longer on right side). 2) How far out towards the wheels should the springs be mounted to the axle. Seems to me that they should be evenly spaced and centerd with springs out as far as possible leaving clearance for the tires. Any helpful advise would be appreciated.
Thanks
Larry
PS: With engine/tranny centered in car the left/right 2x4 frame rails are evenly spaced out from tranny output.
