Have any of you guys had experience with flipped rear springs? How much extra wheel base do you get? What are the affects of the military wrap on the other end?

Thanks Dan

This should help.

3.5" longer wheelbase, added axle wrap, traction bar a MUST on SOA, recomenced on SUA, longer driveshaft required, relocating upper shock mount required.

I second the consequences noted by Woody and would add that unless you want to leave your rear axle on the trail somewhere, or have it fall off on the freeway, you must redrill and NOT flip the leaf with the military wrap. The military wrap is used for a good purpose -- namely to keep the axle attached to the frame if the primary leaf should break. In order to work it has to be on the fixed end of the spring.

I agree, flip the military wrap around so it is attached to the frame.

Other than that it is a great mod!!!

Hey, I like those re-arched springs! Might help combat my 'cruiser lean... :rolleyes:
