Quote from: Senior31 on April 18, 2016, 03:18:00 PMHere are some pics from the build. I had to cut out the floor for the panhard bar. This was only to get it as low as I wanted (it is on air ride). I can get more pics if you would like. Just let me know what you need.Senior,I am think that mounting the hardware first before I remove the leaf is the way to go to get everything correct. That is if I can install the brackets just inside the leafs and be ok.

Munch here is the Link price higher than when I purchased in 2013 $499.00http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Deluxe-Coil-Over-Rear-Suspension-Kit-Chrome,15373.html
triangulated or straight? If you have the room and your axle is sitting in the correct place, I don't see why this wouldn't work. Usually on my builds I have to start from scratch by lining the axle for ride height, square, pinion angle, and coilover placement. I then weld brackets to the axle and frame to keep it tight and then build off all this.
Munch I can' remember what weight of the springs, will try to dig up that info.As for the fit I am using a 68 Firebird rear end and it came together real well.I used a plumb bob to find the center of axle and marked it on the frame as I think the original spring perch are in the way.It takes a lot of measuring to get everything lined up then I just tacked everything together and re measured before final welding.I also used these from Speedway to get my ride height and shocks are on the middle hole which still gives me some adjustment.http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Rear-Shock-Mount,3334.html
Ghost,Can I mount the bar and shock bracket inside the rear end enough to clear the leaf and shock mount and weld a bar across the frame to mount the front bars to? This would allow me to remove the leafs after and retain the setup. Could I then do it on the lift with no support under the tires?
I installed a Speedway setup in my 30 after trying to use lowering blocks and playing with removing springs.I haven't driven it yet but seems to be okay has right stance now.Had to install angle iron across frame so I had something to attach coilovers too. I will attach some pictures.
MUNCH i don't feel that it makes much difference where you mount the shocks,you could mount them out close to the frame rails either in front of or behind the axle if something is interfering with your positioning them ,then you could make a gusset and mount them further away from the axle vette59jdwl
