Re: Long Leaf Spring Swap Thread - 1963 K15
Initially, I was going to find OEM spring hangers, shackles and modify them to fit the '63 frame. The more I thought about it, the more realistic I became about the amount of time that I have available and my welding skills.
The option that I ended up going with DIY 4x4 B52 hanger set for the front and the DIY 4x4 Flip and Switch for the rear / rear spring hanger and the ORU shackle flip for the front / rear. Pics of both setups coming soon.
I have one of the front springs out right now which will give better access to the front hanger for removal.
The difference in length of the front springs can be seen here.
