Rear Leaf spring questions
Q: Why is rear leaf spring Datum Line higher at the rear of leaf spring or same height as front?
Q: Should the front leaf spring eye be on the same center line as the rear end at ride height?
Q: Why is the rear axle mounted closer to front of spring and center of springs on others?
Q: Leaf springs non- parallel being closer in front than rear.
I my case I’m looking for information regarding the 36 ford truck picture I use in my post.
It’s tough I consider it a Restomod not a monster truck or a rock crawler but more like a 1 ton hot rod.
So most of the Forum and information I read don’t fall as close to center for my build as I would hope.
A lot of people in these forums can design and build most anything if they know why something is done the way it is.
I think a lot of members or browser here would like to know why there doing things a certain way enabling them to make better choices for their personal build.
So if anyone could answer one or all the questions not in terms of off road applications but general car or truck applications.
