They are different (Q/C...R/C).. yours have to be a little shorter.

Did you read about the brackets?
 
yea i got all the proper brackets i jus cany fig out what bolt people are telling me to cut
 
Maybe Santeen will chime in. :dontknow:
He just did his not that long ago.
 
the QC's just bolt in

the RC's some when you remove the overload spring or slapper bar, the spring pack bolt holding them together has to be shortened and rethreaded,


the QC caltracs are differen from the RC

the QC wit a lowering kit are different from regular QC kits
they use a different lower spring pack bracket.


Yours is fine, jsut install and get er don

front pivot plates are wrong

roller goes on top of the spring

that should give ya more length so the rear plate sits in the center of the axle housin
