“The Stocker” phaze 2

I was out of town for a week, but I did get some of the parts welded up before I left.

Please explain this leaf and shock mount set up. Or post pics of it on the truck/CAD model or something..... I'm really interested in this. But can't picture it in my fucked up head.

U-bolt eliminator, takes different loads off the springs, adjustable pinion angle, eliminates axle rap.



Today guys are running much bigger tires, and horsepower and yes, they will break a couple of the main leaves just in front of the Axle, or they break all three right behind the front bushing eye and in some cases the front bushing I will totally enlarge want to tear away from the mount.

I am still in the early stages of developing and have not mounted on a vehicle yet and waiting on some other parts before I mount the first one.

Yeah, I've built a few u-bolt eliminator before. I was just confused as what the tabs off the front of the axle were for..... but I see it now. Kind of acts as a swya bar being attached to the bottom of the spring. Or something. Idk how to explain it. But I see now, it makes sense.

THANKS GEOFF!

Are you running only a single anti wrap link on that rear setup? Seems that 2 would be like a radius arm and would cause bind under any articulation or would the leaves operate the same as when hard bolted to leaf pack as they currently are?

I don't think it will reduce sway, but it will load the upper links that will effect tracking & travel.

I'll have an upper link on each side for the basic Bronco's with the shocks on the inside of the frame, but I would like to triangulate the links for shocks on the outside. 2 links on each side on top of each other would bind. The leafs would act as the lower link.

Copy. I was meaning 2 links as in 1 per side for upper links. Doing triangulated upper link with shocks outside the frame would be cool.
