Yes, I know the front output is stock, I have three others like it in my garage. The 205 shifts fine as is right now, I agree the front bracket needs a little love.

Brett,

My target wheelbase was around 110-112". The 700r4 is about 2" shorter than my standard setup. My rough measurements tell me that both shafts will prolly work as is with my plans. I will make the wheelbase fit the shafts to save time and money.

For those that are running chevy 52" springs up front how many leaves did you leave in the pack, I was thinking of just removing the overload and using that as a starting point. I have two packs to mix and match leafs from, so if anyone knows a good configuration using either more long leafs or shorts one speak up.

[Sharpe]

There is a huge variety of leaf thicknesses used so you'll have to figure this out by trial and error. Take the shorter leafs out first and work your way up the pack.

accordinto my chart , 52s came in
4(3/1) spring capacity of 1290lbs 1 1/2" thickness
5(4/1) " " of 1950lbs, 1 7/8" thickness
6(5/1)" " of 1875lbs, 2 1/8" thickness
5(4/1) " " of 2150lbs, 2 1/16" thickness
6(5/1) " " of 2200lbs, 2 1/4" thickness
7(6/1) " " of 2775lbs, 2 11/16" thickness

hope this helps, but ya like sharpe said remove the shortr leafs 1st.

the bronco had 4, way too much wrap. Cooks has like 5 or 6 and it works great, I would shoot for a little over 2" thickness in the pack

Or put the right amount of springs in for ride height and flex, then use an antiwrap bar to control wrap!

You did read the title of this thread didn't you???

[RCcola55]

to "properly" do an antiwrap bar, the shackles need to be opposite ends of eachother, although eds as an example isnt that way, it seems to work fine.


edit: fixed for the soul thief

[uglyota]

I don't know if I did the "properly" do an antiwrap on the uglytruck or not

huh?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

What's the matter John, you don't read 'donk?

[RCcola55]

wow i was still half asleep when that was written, i will fix

[uglyota]

so now that it's fixed, what does it mean? are you just saying that the shackle on a shackle-type antiwrap bar should be in tension under accelaration?

[RCcola55]

from what i have read when building the shackle typ antiwrap, the shackle ned to be on the opposite end in relation to the spring shackle, why? i dunno, ask the guy who's balls are always on fire, he is the engineer.
