Moving front axle
Posted: Sat Jan 13, 2007 6:48 pm
The usual info first...
HJ60 cruiser, leaf sprung, 2" suspension lift, 2" body lift, 35" tyres blah blah blah....
The only drawback I have with my truck is the approach angle...My spring packs hit any decent step before the tyres and therefor makes things harder to get up.
Obviously the higher the vehicle the better...but I dont want it any higher than it already is.
Another option is coil conversion...but thats a pipedream I think.
So moving the front axle forward seems to be the way to go...I came across some plates on Snake Racing that allow the axle to be moved up to an inch forward.
heres a link to the plate I am talking about.

So basically is 1 inch worth all the hassle?...will 1 inch forward movement of the front axle make that much difference?
Whats the minimum you would move the axle to make it worth it?
