have almost all the details worked out for my 16-20 conversion on my deuce. at first i was considering swapping the dog bones with that of a 5 ton for proper length. then i was told by multiple members that they are much larger. my brain thought how much larger could they be? well i went to the annual military show in phx this season and by god they are tremendously larger. only thing i have left with my designs are the spring packs. the factory springs will not reach the axle location at the determined distance apart needed.
so the questions.
does the 5 ton have a similar width spring as the deuce? 2.5 inches i believe
does the 5 ton have the similar floating springs sitting on top the axle in a carriage as the deuce?
does anyone have a 5 ton spring pack set they feel they would be better without the lower 5 springs?
thanks in advance fellas
