WHERE do I go now "as I cry into my kebooooaord" sob sob

Well today has been as they say a "SHIT" of a day

Put the rear axle and brakes back on after some effing and blinding, working on my own, car 18" off the ground but got it done in the end only to find my decambered single leaf springs are just too low the axle hits the bumps stops when you push the car down and the 10" coil over front springs are going to be too low too, as the threaded part of the strut is right down on the brake pipe bracket well 3 mm above so I need 12" now

the chassis rails are sitting 41/4" of the ground back and 5" on the front so now I dont know what to do

and new back springs F*&*******BB***********EW*C**C*W !!!!!!!

heres what she looks like

I was talking about this to the Hoarder today but when putting them this way there does not seem to be anything to locate the spring to axle apart from a small round bit of metel which has a nut on the bottom side of the spring? and the holes in the axle casing are 1" across so surely there would be a lot of movment ?

[Kel]

whats the problem, look the same height as mine, but did you removed the rubber isolators on the Axle, they are work 1/2 inch.

[Banishit]

does yours not bottom out on the back then kel ? have you got the bump stops fitted ? mine only seems to have 1 1/2 inch of travel before hitting the chassis rails ?

the chassis rails are sitting 41/4" of the ground back and 5" on the front so now I dont know what to do

[Kel]

I'll be back

[Kel]

look like that bump stop slipped slipped a bit.

these are standard Mutlisprings with 1 1/2 inch block with the rubber removed from the top. The block can with a spacer to enlargen the spigot on the block to fit the saddle hole on the axle.

link not working kel..?

[Kel]

with your old struts on mine is a bit higher than yours, but a 1 inch lower than I had.

[Kel]

I see it

[Banishit]

cheers Kel but I cant put lowering blocks in other wise I will be on the floor LOL

[Kel]
