My problem is this, as I went to install the new front leaf springs I realized there is nothing to mount the front of the leaf spring to, it appears there should be a bracket on the inside of the front portion of the frame to hold the shackle.......any advice where I could get my hands on a couple of these? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 | Try "JIMBO59CHEVY" on this forum in the parts for sale section. He also sells on e-bay. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 23 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 23 | | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 | I may have a set too. I don't have a picture of them at this time. I was looking for a front cross member for a GMC and ended up buying a front clip that was removed for a IFS. All I need is the front cross member. Let me know if you can't find one locally. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 | WOW...... I just thought of something.This had airbags with no front leaf springs? What was holding the front axle in?
Suberbin,,Could you post a couple pics. of this setup? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 23 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 23 | That's right! No shocks, No leaf springs! and the guy claims he was driving it! I was able to get up to about 25mph and then the body rolled to one side and I parked it. Sorry no Pictures already removed the airbags. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 | Youre one lucky dude!!! To even drive it and survive.
