Hey, i was wondering if i moved my rear leafs up front would i have to move the brackets?

 

Yes. The rears are a bit longer than the fronts. And I believe the rear leafs are symmetrical while the front ones are a little bit higher on the drivers (?) side, so you're gonna have to either live with that or account for it with a shim of some sort.

 

What brackets are you talking about?

I have rears up front in the stock hangers with 2" over stock shackles.
I am still running the push-pull steering with a custom drop draglink.
Torque rod had to be removed(or shortened and sleeved).

 

Oh cool, I guess the difference in length isn't all that great then. That's good to know. What did you do about the different height springs? Just leave it?

 

I actually cut down the Toyota overload leaf(It's 3/8" thick) and added it to the drivers side pack.

 

Nice. I so wish I had a factory SA...and a crew cab...and no oil leaks...and no bad hg....and no 3.slo...and dual cases....

 

Stock front springs are 45", rears are 48".
Having banana shackles would help also.
I have welded up a new front spring hanger, but I don't want the extra lift, yet.

 

For the perch height difference, a pre-made spacer is also available:

And x2 on the 2" over stock shackle for the 2" longer rear springs (assuming '88/9 or earlier):

If you are talking about the '92 leaves, they are longer than that:
