The chassis and basic design of a Spirit bucket is engineered for safety and simplicity. From that start, your imagination is your only limit. From drive train to paint scheme, you can style your bucket to match your personality. It is our goal to see you through this project and help you accomplish the task of building the T bucket of your dreams. If you have any questions feel free to call of at 1-870-425-5900

Chassis Build
The chassis is easily assembled in just a few hours.
Before you begin building your kit, it’s best to lay out all of the parts and familiarize yourself with the pieces. NOTE: We recommend you pre-assemble your chassis prior to prepping and painting.
We recomend using Loc-Tite on all nut-bolt combinatins.
Spirit’s grade 8 bolt kit are in labled packages.

Front Axle Assembly
Be sure to use jamb nuts when installing clevises and rod ends into radius rods
1.) Assemble axle on the floor with spring, shackle assemblies, and radius rods NOTE: When installing the shackle bolts into the shackle and spring make sure the nuts are towards the front of the car. This gives you maximum turning radius. After lock nuts are tight cut off excess bolt flush to nut.
When attaching the radius rods to the front axle, use longer bolts through the upper clevis. These bolts will also be used to attach the axle to the friction shock. NOTE: We recommend 5° - 7° positive caster. Camber is preset into the axle.
2.)
After connecting the radius rods to the axle, attach the other end of the radius rods to the mounting brackets on the frame. Then lift the spring/axle assembly into the spring perch. Using the panhard bracket, sandwich the spring between the bracket and the perch, and bolt together. Attach the lower clevis to the right front radius rod to the axle using the bracket for the panhard rod.
