Id go with it if thats the weight of the rig on them.... Alcans settle ALOT, and it wont be but 6mo ( if you do get to wheeling it ) it will wrap like a muh fugga, the shackle will be laid waaaaaaaaay back (springs flattening / settling ) and youll be bitching about needing a traction bar. If you dont right outta the gate , depends alot on how / what you wheel it on. Vertical will wrap those springs faster than ****..
I havent seen one Yota build were all of the above didnt happen on Alcan springs.

Re: Anybody free saturday to cut some perches. *pics added*
the springs were bought from bert off caos. I think he said they were 6in lifts I took and pulled them apart and put two stock springs and the stock "helper" spring in them to reduce the lift I'd like to keep it as low as possible. the bed is a rust hole just about so I'm ditching it for a simple angle iron flatbed that goes along the frame. and the front is nothing a sawzall can't take care of

Re: Anybody free saturday to cut some perches. *pics added*
I haven't bent any springs, but mine are neither Alcan nor actively being used yet. They would be under current and active duty (and in a way I suppose are somewhat), but I used to know this guy in Sumiton that was going to help me out one day....
Since that day, my truck has been sitting needing some fairly simple things, but....
It is note-worthy though that I add the following:
I purchased 5" Trail-Gear springs for the front of my Yoat a couple years ago just for some mock-up and general roll-around shop duties and the thing has sat in various places (still not operable) and the springs have lost at least 2" of their peppyness and I haven't even driven the truck.
Just a quick not to those that are interested in Trail-Gear 5" springs....

So got an hour to work on it today before getting ready for work, went out and put on some old tires I had laying around to get the rear "off jack stands" and noticed something
before: axle on the ground
After: tires on
anything to alievate this problem without cutting and re-welding the hanger?
Look at the rake on this thing
on to the front.

Yeah, the shackle shouldn't lay flat on the frame. Looks like you're going to have to move the perch, or run a ghetto fabbed 12" long shackle.

no the axles have been out for a while just haven't been "motivated enough" to get the new ones back under there. But thanks to the fine motivational speakers in these forums I've gotten off my ass. Now if I can get Kelly to get that hanger for me I'll be semi-golden.

Re: Anybody free saturday to cut some perches. *pics added*
are those 63's??
run an 8" eye to eye shackle out back and cut/reweld the front hanger appropriatly... shackle should be at 45 degree angle on that setup.

I sold the 63's I had and opted for these, they are 6in (I believe) alcans for the rear of a 3 gen toy. I took and pulled them apart and replaced some of the springs with a few stock springs to reduce the lift. I never took a tape to them I know they are a tad longer than the stock springs though.
You won't do it for a couple of cases of keystone? I believe I can slide the front end onto a trailer and tow it over this weekend and you can just do it in between trips to the new pad. I'll even help load your **** up
