[QUOTE="d_daffron, post: 367398, member: 4983"] Next we started on the rear axle. Using a ford 8.8 and 63" leafs here. We had to extend the frame slightly to make a shackle mount. [URL=http://s120.photobucket.com/user/doubleud1/media/S10/A3D4626B-6F68-4129-A099-9ED461845B33_zpsjdrh6ru3.jpg.html][IMG]http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o164/doubleud1/S10/A3D4626B-6F68-4129-A099-9ED461845B33_zpsjdrh6ru3.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The longer springs moved the axle back, it "should" center the axle in the wheel well of a longbed. The plan at this point is to sell the shortbed and buy a longbed, then bob the longbed behind the tires and end up with a shortbed with the wheel wells moved to the very back of the bed.

We wanted to pull the donor into the shop to pull everything but I have way too much crap inside for that. So a few ratchet straps later we converted my F250 into a mobile engine hoist.
