Re: 5" Lift Kit not Level
Ok this is for a electric, but you need to put the axle below the springs for your lift to be correct.

You'll end up using the same U-bolts that are on it now unless you use the blocks. Set the cart down with the axel under the springs and measure it, you may not need the blocks to get it level. |

Re: 5" Lift Kit not Level
OK you confuse me when you say Flip the House. What are those round housing for are they just to hold some rubber to cut down on vibration?
Take the thing a part. Do I discard those houses and rubber? Ok I have to cut that pin off the top of the axle flush as my HD springs have a bolt in the middle center to hold them together. Where would the shock plate go ? On the top right ? Would you know what kind of travel the center engine pivot has > |

Re: 5" Lift Kit not Level
You will need blocks for a place to except the axle pins and the pins on the springs, to keep everything in place.
You will also have to trim the rubber grommets to clear the pins, when you flip the brackets and use an extra set of shock plates. That or just go with the longer shackles if it will get you high enough, looks like hell though. Myself? .. I would flip it, use blocks, go with the stock springs for a better ride and the right height. (*if no back seat) |
