Suspension

Degreed Axle Shims

SOLID STEEL! Machined all in house and available in 4 different degrees. 2.5" wide and 5" long. Each kit consists of two shim plates and new center pin hardware for a complete installation. Pocket milled on the bottom side so your center pins sit flat against the shim for an even loading. 6* shim pictured below.

Use these shims for correcting drive shaft angles and/or caster angles after lifting your rig. Also available in 3 piece sets for axles such as the Dana 60 where studs will engage the spring plate at an angle with a standard 2 piece set. So, if your shimming a Dana 60, use the 3 piece set to keep your studs in good shape and loaded evenly.

Front Shackle Frame Eye Hanger

Not shown in the photo but these do come with Greasable Poly bushings and sleeves. 9/16" bolts are required. If you need some let me know. We have both greasable and standard bolts.

Razor Back shock mount - Part no. 00390 - $120.00 -





"WRAPTOR" Anti-wrap System

Backbone and Wraptor Kits are sold separately.

The "Wraptor" anti wrap system is designed to be used with our "
BACKBONE" truss sytem for the 14BFF, full size 73-87 Chevy/GMC pickups and suburbans. A new Model is availalbe for 81-91 Blazers. Click here for more information about the "BACKBONE."

This is a very uniquely designed anti wrap bar. We have built in a wristed shackle to eliminate any possible suspension bind. Designed to fit any full size chevy pickup or suburban from 1973-1987(91) and blazers from 1981-1991 and comes with the upper and lower bars, wristed shackle, crossmember, greasable polys and grade 8 hardware. There are a few DIY elements to this system. The upper and lower arms must be cut to length and welded in place. The upper bar needs to be welded to the wristed shackle and the lower bar gets attached to the upper. Designing the kit this way allows us to make the kit as complete as possible and working for as many rigs as possible, while still maintaing the durability and strength you'll find in the end product.

The new blazer model is different from the pickup/suburban model to accomodate the shorter wheelbase. We have offset the Upper and lower bars to the Driver side of the rear driveline.

Just like all our products we have used nothing but the finest of materials! If you have any questions before, during or after the installation, please don't hesitate to call!

Pickup/suburban part no. - 00290k - $275.00 Please call to order
Blazer 81-91 part no. - 00290kb - $288.00 Please call to order.
Blazer 73-80 coming soon. The only difference will be in the crossmember on the frame.

Your satisfaction is very important to us, don't hesitate to call!


Cross Tied Shackles

These shackles are just a bit stouter than our regular shackle sides. They are 3/8" thick steel, tied together in the center with a 1" pin and fully welded. If your looking for a serious shackle this will fill the bill. These come with 9/16" holes. We can of course customize them to suit your needs both in length to some degree, and bolt hole size. Just call to let us know what you need. These are sold in sets, or enough to hook up both rear springs.

14 BFF Spring Perches $40.00 pr.


Installing a One ton axle under a 3/4 ton or 1/2 ton frame? Brand swap? Or maybe you need to correct for proprer pinoin angle. If so you'll need a pair of spring perches. These are made specifically for the axle you have. No grinding to fit. Single piece FULL BOX Construction. We also include 3 holes for axle offset at center, 1" and 1.5". While your setting things up you can adjust your axle position from center, 1" or 1.5" off center. This is not designed to be adjustable later and I don't know why you'd want too. This is intended to help you get things set up right before you weld them on.

UD Spring Plates

These are made of 1/4" thick steel. 45* bend on each end which stiffens the plate as well as creates a nice radius to ride against your spring rather than a sharp corner which will introduce a stress riser on your main leaf. Bad place for a stress riser. The plate is also boxed on the sides to stiffen it on the longitude. So, with this combination of bends and reinforcement it is much more rigid overall and comparable to thicker material without the dead weight. The center pin hole is slotted which will allow for the use of offsets. If you'd like a set for something not listed below, get a hold of me and we'll sort out the details.

UPDATE: These are now a single piece construction.
