Mounting Leaf Spring Slider Brackets in a Better Way 

Thank you

Cool, I'm glad you liked it. I hope it helps out... I would put them on. It will really free up the suspension.

Thanks. I've seen him on Facebook. He makes a lot of good stuff.... You're welcome Hope the info helps out.

Thanks.

I'm glad you liked it. It will probably work on most leaf spring set ups.

68 c10 is coil springs not leaf springs.

Thank you.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

Before I had the sliders, I built aluminum bushings that had bearings pressed into them. They moved really free. When I switched to sliders I noticed it left a lot harder, and square.

I'm thinking of fabbing something like that, myself. An adapter to mount a slider to an S10 drag truck, via the existing shackle hole.

I guess you could try that it might work. I noticed when I moved weight percentages around it moved the spring eye to far back. Thanks for the complement, and watching.

I don't know how long they last. I've had them on my car for 5 years, and they are still solid. I would imagine they would last a long time. They are a sealed bearing, and not really hard to change out.

No, not yet. I just got a few Go Pros this year. Definitely plan on doing that though, so we can make better tuning decisions.... They for sure move a lot, it's surprising!

@@jimkiernan2855 so I just refreshed myself with that video. They do move some - not as much as I was thinking though. Kinda looks like this person did something similar with the frame-to-bracket mount as you did. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vp1edw96lVs.html

I've seen them move a lot on radial cars that need the separation. They are nice, because the spring rate doesn't change, like with a swing shackle... It looked like his set up had the ability to move the mount forward.

Do you sell these? I need a set of those mounts !!!

No. With all of the weight on the car the slider bolt should be 3/4 to 1 inch from the back. In other word 3/4 to 1 inch of the slot should be showing.

Not a stupid question at all. I have no idea why. They make them with different angles, but not longer for some reason.

Nope. Never had an issue. They never loosened up, broke, or shifted. I had them on the car like that for 6 or 7 years.

@@jimkiernan2855 I may try to give this a try. Very interesting

It's not a bad theory, but you said it. What if you need new springs, and they are slightly different. Even if you don't adjust them, I think they should still be bolted in. Just my opinion. Thanks for watching.

You could, and it would work. Other people on here have said it too. The video was mainly about mounting, so it isn't welded on permanently... Thanks for watching.

Ayuda a que la ballesta se mueva libremente. Por lo tanto, no esta' en apuros para que pueda usar la tasa de resorte real en una aplicacion de auto de carrera.

I don't know... What car would it be for?

@@jimkiernan2855 same car 2nd Camaro

I'll think about it. I've never made parts for other people before. I would have to get some things plasmid out... What leaf springs age you running? Stock or Calvert?

@@jimkiernan2855 Calvert

I'm getting the parts together.

Lol... I know it's a terrible show. Thanks for watching.

You could make them longer I suppose. I don't think there would be any negative effects from it. You would just have to make sure there is plenty of room for movement at different weights. I believe I saw some companies making long sliders in the 4X4 offroad world.
