Need custom rear leaf plates

[Richard Le]

I'm looking for someone who could custom make me a pair of plates for my rear Belltech leaf springs. Below is a picture of the plate that came off one of the leafs. I'm looking for two plates that are about half the thickness, made out of either aluminum or stainless steel:

I can send PayPal payment for labor and material. Let me know. Thanks.

Just curious as to your reason why? I'm running beltech leafs in my truck

With the plates on top of the leafs, the rear axle on my Ty would hit the frame when I take a hard corner with a full tank of gas. Without the plates, the rear wheel well gaps are slightly too big for my taste. Therefore, going with plates that are half as thick might be a good compromise.

did you cut the rubber bump stops? Thats the only way mine would hit the frame. I had cut the stops and put a 1" spacer and it always hit. I never had them hit with just the beltech leafs and I'm using a 1/2" plate on top of the belltechs now with out a problem.

Are the shocks shot perhaps? I know it doesn't take much to bottom out a lowered Ty but I'm just curious, mine doesn't do it

Richard shoot me an email and we can make things happen. I think I have aluminum here, if you want stainless we can order up a couple pieces. I have another option I can talk to you in email also.

Add a pin 500 in diameter 1/2 inch back and the wheel will be centered too I've made a few sets of these for local guys I need to make 4 or 5 more sets

Yeah the rubber bump stops were cut, and I'm running on pinion corrected angled blocks on top of the belltechs. Shocks are new and stiff Bilsteins.
