Guest Removed Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 id post the pics of them but dont have the pics on this pc. the design is simple, but yeah work great from what i have heard. let me check again, he may have them in front. let me go check stock up front http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/fastbobb/Picture117.jpg and i dont have pics after the sliders were installed, but they are angled funny so the spring dont wrap up and bind. and his rear is on floaters due to the torque arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 614Streets Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Ive been looking at them since you posted them , I am a sponge http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/large/afc-20236s_w.jpg Says for chrysler springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 i can name a few fords on the 460 forum that have them! so ? http://www.afcoracing.com/tech_pages/leaf.shtml and custom springs arent shit to have made.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 614Streets Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 well thats just what the website said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Aren't those sliders supposed to keep the suspension from binding when using a ladder bar set-up? I always assumed it was a cheaper solution to totally re-engineering the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 well thats just what the website said gm spring bushing size vs nopar springs.... same size bolt hole tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assumed it was a cheaper solution to totally re-engineering the rear. no that would be the housing floaters job. keeps the leaf from binding up when the suspension travels. torque arm is just one big ladder bar.

What's the difference between the Afco sliders you're talking about and a housing floater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 2 totally different things man...housing floaters let the rear end rotate with out binding the spring up.(think normally how the rear is bolt to the springs and the rear end pitchs with them, that being bad with 4 links, ladder bars so on. now sliders can eliminate the up and down movement of the rear spring eye caused by shackles moving through their arcs during suspension travel. floaters= middle of spring housing mouting. sliders rear of spring. read youngin http://www.afcoracing.com/tech_pages/leaf.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
