Alcan Front Spring 
Installation

I was very impressed with the flex of my stock Trailmaster front springs. They flex so well that my 33's get stuffed into my firewall. Because of this, I wanted to relocate the axle 1.5" forward. There are a number of ways to do this, but the best way is to install springs with the locating pins moved forward. When you do this, the shocks won't line up. The answer, relocate the shocks forward also. Once again, there are a number of ways to do this. I chose to use All-Pro's front shock hoops. They allow the use of longer shocks also, which means more flex!!! Since I will have it all apart anyways, I am also installing NWOR greasable shackles and pins. So this is a pretty involved project moneywise.

What I will be adding:

• 1 set of Alcan front springs with 5" lift and pins moved 1.5" forward
• NWOR Elite Series greasable shackles-standard length with poly bushings
• NWOR greasable front spring pins
• All-Pro front shock hoops
• Doetsch Tech front shocks

• I chose Alcan springs for their great reputation for flex. I have a set in the rear and love them. 
• I chose NWOR's shackles and pins because I also have them in the rear and love them. They are high quality.
• I chose All-Pro's shock hoops because of the high quality of their products. 
• I love Doetsch Tech's shocks. I've had them all and nothing compares.
