Rear leaf spring reversal on an MQ
Good morning wonderful Patrol People!
I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to mechanical knowledge, so I was hoping to employ the minds of some people here that are wise in the world of automotive modification on the following.
I need some opinions on the following idea I'm having for the Dreadnought. I want to move my rear diff further towards the back of the vehicle for a bit more stability since the shorties have.... well.... none. I have noticed that the rear diff doesn't actually mount in the centre of the leaves, but more to the front of them. So I've been thinking of rotating the leaves front to back so that the diff locating pin is further back from the centre, which means then the diff will mount further back aswell. Could this cause any problems? Is there a reason for the diff to be located further up the leaf rather than in the centre? What is the meaning of life? Etc?
Any advice would be most helpful. Thanks again, Lordly Patrol Drivers!
Godspeed! :1056:
