Who has sliders on the rear ? Does the Chrysler type from Afco or Speedway, fit our springs ? I searched, but did not see a thread with a solid answer. Thanks !
I never even knew these existed until now. I had a look at the AFCO stuff. It makes sense... If it helps any, the Maverick leaf springs are 2.5" wide. I too, would be interested to see if anyone on here is using them.
"Spring Sliders can eliminate the up and down movement of the rear springs eye caused by shackles moving though their arcs during suspension travel." this is true but the car body still goes up/down with each bump. is this worth $200? also what would these do to the ride height? does this replace the shackle bolt or spring eye bushing?
They replace the shackle entirely. Here is Afco's info page: http://www.afcoracing.com/tech_pages/leaf.shtml Speedway is much cheaper. The second Q&A topic does a good job explaining the dimensions, you could check them against our springs to see if they might work. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedway-Heavy-Duty-Chrysler-Type-Leaf-Spring-Sliders,5817.html
Sliders are great for race cars.. but probably a bit noisy for milder street setups, IMO. Was going to do them on mine eventually too but it'll be so load it can't even take a radio. lol At least until I give up on throwing money at the stock design and squeeze a 4 link under the rear.
Lentech's car had them if i remember right- cant see the pics anymore but heres a short thread about his setup http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=9071 You might have seen a pic of a yellow mav standing straight up....thats it
