It's water Mike - I had just washed the car when I took those pics, but thanks for the tip lol.
nova6911 those sliders mount better than shackles and let me lower the car some.
But wait there's more... this page here - http://www.bedfordspeedway.com/toolbox_leaf.htm is an article Afco wrote on them and explains the geometry benefits.

When I put my anti-roll bar in I moved the mount from between the frame rails to between the two roll cage tubes, this will give you a better idea

did you cut the floor pans to install the c/e frame connectors?gearjammer wrote:Beyond and I both have the same setup regarding moving the leaf spring inboard, we both used the CE weld in frame connector which has a leaf spring pocket built in it.project71nova wrote:how hard is it to move the front over ? is there a kit or do u have to fab something up ?
However you will have to fab something up for the rear portion, again we both used the slider setup. I think with Beyonds performance the set up speaks for its self, me I will know next month as soon as I get back from california.
Good luck

I notched the rear frame rail to create a pocket for the spring frame to fit up into then welded the connector to the frame rail, I then added some 1 5/8" stock from the rocker to the frame connector for additional support.
