Supposedly not as the leaf springs "locate" so that issue would not come into play...the next issue would be what length and spring rate shocks should one go with?? Any other issues to look out for here?? Seems like it would solve alot of the problems of having the SUA without the complication of lifting the rear too high with a SOA modification...(additionally a low profile/high Ubolt mount leaf pack would replace the OEM one....am I making any sense here???
I saw that too. I am not sure that the bracket in question actually raises the bottom mount. It's my understanding that the mount is level with the center line of the rear axle and a bit further back. The aplication of this that I have seen mounts both shocks on the back end of the axle...or whatever you call it. As far as shocks, you would have to measure...although the Nissan that I know that runs a setup like this has 12 inch piggybacks on it. I am thinking about this too...just have to figure where to mount the top of the shocks. [Uh Oh !]
