I put a camaro rear into my truck and was looking to use the 2.5" width camaro leafs as well. Problem was in finding some mounts to bolt the springs to the frame. I thought that unversal leaf spring mounts would be something of a common part, but they actually were difficult to find. Ended up finding with and buying them from a company Warrior who makes offroading parts. Drilled the frame and they bolted in great for mounting the leafs themselves but were not wide enough to account for the massively wide camaro stock bushings. So next step was to turn some new urythane bushing to fit. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 20 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 20 | I use Crysler 5th ave spring mounts....Don

Is it 1/2 ton? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 52 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 52 | my truck is a '49 1/2 ton. For shackles, I reused the originals and I will will a small block to lower it a bit more. If anyone needs, I can post the eyelit distance from front to rear mounts and/ or distance some a rivet or some other reference spot. Definite time savers or at the very least, quality control checks. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 381 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 381 | Hi vik morgan - yeah it would be helpful if you could post the measurements.Thanks. | | |
