Il use the top leaf from another spring, re drill the centre hole back by about an inch.
Then il wrap it around my old springs, remove and fit to new ones

Haven't touched this in weeks now
I am going to put this on 35 inch simexs, I love my boggers and I don't think il sell them for a while.
But as the Americans have said these shafts are safe with 35 inch tyres, I may as sell make the most of it.
Move front axle forward to the furthest hole in the saddle it's about 1 1/2 inch.
Props also okay to do this.
Rear I am going to chop. Quite significantly I am afraid, where the wheel arch goes round, the highest point backwards cut all the way towards the rear. Rear axle moved back 1 1/2 again.
A 35 simex will give me the diff clearance I want. Since I've trussed my axle I've lost ground clearance I need that back.
