I've got a TJ with a 5" rear wheelbase stretch and Clayton Long arm kit. The rear is the single triangulated suspension.

I need to build up a new axle and was thinking about using these brackets.

I don't have a stock axle to measure off of presently, but according to what I can find on the internet the LCA's should be placed 44" apart on center and the spring buckets should be placed 40.5" apart on center.

Looking at the ballisitic brackets it appears the LCA's will need to be located in the center of the spring buckets. I was thinking about mounting these 42" on center. The LCA's will be spaced in 1" each and the spring buckets will be spaced out 3/4". I don't think this would hurt anything, what do you all think?

Has anyone used these brackets?

Subscribed because I want to use the brackets that incorporate the shock mounts too.
IMO it will not hurt to move the springs and LCA's around that little but I am no expert on this.
