m105 springs on bobbed deuce

does anybody know if its possible to use the spring packs and perches off of an m105 trailer to bob the rear end of a deuce? if i had a trailer handy to look at i could probably tell.....

Yes it has been done, but you'll have to put in a 2" spacer. The difference is how the sping hangers mount. Do a search for bobbed deuces with Ranchhopper as the thread starter. Should pull up the info.

I used 105 springs, As Ranchhopper said , you will need a spacer block.

When you go this route, is there any easy way to put shocks on the back?

 

[gimpyrobb]

OOPS a 3" spacer will be needed, sorry.

What do you make the spacer out of? 3" square tubing? Do you have a drawing?

You can order the front mounts from Memphis Equipment........I did it for my bobber.
But they are real proud of them.

I used the front spring kits from Boyce Equipment. $500

ranchhopper, i've never liked the fore/aft spring flex you get from under spring lift blocks like this. i'll probably fab some under frame lift blocks for the perches. thanx for the pics, sanitary lookin truck...

New bobbed deuce info

I am just starting the bob job on my newly aquired deuce, and i am using the m105 springs and brackets. Why does it appear that when this is done nobody installs the overload packs? Its only a matter of 12 more holes to drill, and longer ubolts. Also nobody seemed to answer the question of shocks or no shocks on the rear. Is the rule of thumb 3 inches of lift block, and has anybody experienced axle wrap with this done? Thanks

I use the M105 springs, I take the main stack apart, and take the overload stack apart. Build your you main pack up using the overload leaves also, just stack them up in the right order. This will do two things, you get your 3" of lift by the extra leaves, and the extra arch of the overloads. Plus it make the pack a little more firm for less spring wrap. Its just like adding an add a leaf. The ride may be a little more rough, but rember this is not a Cadillac
