Axle on Leaf Spring Placement
I have a 53 3100 with a S10 frame and 12 bolt axle and have a placement question.
Does the axle center-line need to be lined up with the pin/bolt of the leaf springs? Can it me moved forward and inch or so with a new/modified bracket?
When I moved the leaf spring mounts I did my best to center the wheels in the fenders, but they may be a little to the rear. Its not bad, but something others probably won't notice. Another reason is the length of driveshaft - many premade ones are maxed out from my axle to trans. The M20 I am using is a little shorter than other trans (so I have read) and don't want to use a jointed driveshaft.
I have searched some on this - and either I am not using the right terminology or the images are not visible due to the photobucket thing.
Thoughts?
