Making brackets to bolt in weight jacks to the front of a 3rd gen:

 

Project overview:
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/susp...ml#post6484877

 

These bolt to the front 2 (out of 3 per side) K-member bolts on a 3rd gen f-body. They would fit any K-member with a removable spring pocket (see the project overview video) or one where you could cut it out.

 

Swivel cup weight jacks assembled, I'm probably going to modify the cups slightly, I don't like how they fit the springs

Brackets installed on the car, weight jacks all the way up. I'm pretty sure that this is higher then the stock seats, that this would lower the car with stock springs in it.


Where the screw came out. I'm thrilled with my jigs for lining things up, the screws are pretty much centered in the holes.


These swivel cups only come with this length bolt and one that is 3.5" shorter, which would put the hex right at the frame. I was thinking about shortening the bolt, but I'm wondering if they'll be most of the way down by the time I get things adjusted, especially since I didn't know how deep I'd be able to get the cup in the pocket (I assumed that something would get in the way since no one does it), so my springs are no longer then most.

 

Those of you with weight jacks, how much adjustment range do you realistically use (especially those of you that have used more than one spring in them)?
