I am did my spring over with a shackle reversal and am now wondering if the hy steer stuff will clear the leaf springs. It looks like it may be close. Has anyone run into trouble with the high steer arms not working with the shackle reversed springs? Thanks for any input.:)

Mine barely clears the right side springs on full compression (SOA, shackle rev., saginaw.) There are some rub marks on the 1 1/4" draglink but a tad higher bumpstop or a smaller draglink would've kept this from happening.

Mudrak (http://www.mudrak.com) did spring-over, shackle-reversal and high-steer all at the same time on my 55. It works like a dream. :)

I have the Allpro highsteer setup on my forty. I'm using the heim joint setup. I had to have a stainless spacer made to fit under the passenger side heim so the tie rod won't rub the spring. I can't recall if it was a 1/4" or 5/16" thick.

It looks like it is going to be close, that's why I asked.

Mudrak had to drop my bumpstops. Tire and relay rod clearance required it. Downtravel was not a problem.

Mine is close, but does not rub - if I went to a bigger diameter TR (like 1.5" )I would have a problem
Remember - It is a fixed system. if it clears, it will clear unless you get major spring twist.
