Re: Do I really have to find a spring spreader?
[QUOTE=Tinker;821456]Heard, great to here that ya made it happen.
Kube, the shackles never interfer with the removal of the shackles on the vehicle? Never tried this method, i also know you can build a car.
on my previous post with a link to harms ways post. Personally i would be leary of the time removing the center bolt and adding the all thread. Knocking an old rusty center bolt out with only the clamps still attached to a axle has some force. But hey thats why i thought chains as a back up was a good idea. I would think that remmoving the shackles to release the energy first would be the saftest.
The angle iron looks like a great idea outside a tab to keep the spring spreader set. Easily welded on.
I sawalled a spring pack on a rear axle out side the car and i thought it would fly off. It didnt. But i can see there is a lot of kinetic engery waiting to hurt someone.
Great ideas still being posted. Enjoy be safe.
No, the shackles do not interfere. That picture is only a "mock up" on my bench and may not depict exactly what goes on. I have used this method a number of times without a hitch. It is both simple and quite effective.
