rear spring sag
« on: November 15, 2012, 12:39:35 PM »
I am playing around setting up the S10 diff and the springs go flat when car in on the ground. There is no engine or sheetmetal from the firewall forward. How much arch is in your springs when sitting on the wheels? Thanks, Henry.

Looking at ours, there is a slight arch but not much.

Henry J owner Paul Harrelson,Kings Mountain N.C. put a S10 rear under his J. I saw it at the Turkey Run in Daytona, he's in the directory.

Here are some pic's of the mockup, I am leaving the springs there for now, however I have the bars left over from when I was going to put a 4 bar system on my 57 wagon.
