[QUOTE="Gadget Boy, post: 242963, member: 180"] 67 Westy and Dubdubz Here you are So to start with Slamwerks Adjustable spring plates are Kicked up at the Bolted end so this equates to a 1 spline drop already . Now a spline drop on the rear = 1inch = 25mm ( Note these are outer splines only ) So if you set your new Slamwerks plates in the stock postion the same as the factory Stock postion with SW Plates = a 1 spline drop = a 25mm drop A one spline outer drop with SW plates effectively equals a two spline drop = 50mm BUT with more suspension travel I.e a more comfortable ride quality Now the benefits of fitting adjustable spring plates are that if you wish to change the tyres etc You just lift the bus and slowly undo the grub screw and the wheel falls down so you can remove it . You cant do this on a standard spring plate as they dont fall when the rear is lifted as much as if fitted with an adjustable one . If you wish to go more than a two spline drop then you will have to get into notching or clearencing the chassis to accomodate it :mrgreen: Gadget [/QUOTE]
