Snake racing have those plates that relocate the front diff forward
a bit. My question is.....how does this affect the rest of the set up?
ie. steering links etc.
I've got a LN106 Lux 2.8D leaf front. The only mods I've got is a
superior drag link and superior 2" shackles.

You will need to modify the drag link or piss it off and go cross over. :armsup:
Why buy plates when you can just redrill the perch?

If your going to go x-over, put rears up front with longer shackles. Then you will have a more forward diff with good flex.

Thanks for the info. I want to avoid moding the truck too much.
I'll probly just drill the original spring perch and adjust the other
bits to suit. cheers Dave........
