I am getting a set of alcan spring and going up to 7.5 inches. I was wondering if anyone has had their reer leaf spring perch moved back on the spring and what this would do besides obvioulsy spacing the wheel off the inside of the front of the wheel well? I've done searchs and can't really find a direct answer about lengthing the rear this way.

Longer rear wheel base

its done all the time, best is to get some anti wrap perches and just redrill the hole towards the front of the perch, if you want to really gain some wheelbase you can flip the springs around so the long side is forward. i did a combination of both to get a 114" wheel base, and the title of this thread doesnt make sense and probably shouldnt be in advanced fab lol.

You need to be very careful when flipping the rear springs. You WILL kill the springs and have mad spring wrap unless you run a traction bar of some sort.

What are you talking about? It work great (for a little while), but more importantly it looked cool (sitting in the garage). Everybody should do this & URF should build the kit (It's on par with the rest of their crap).
If you're gonna flip the springs than before you actually run them, trackbar it.
