I have a question for you. I know I bought these coil buckets forever ago, but the only way I can get the bolt holes to line up with the holes in the arms is to go diagonal. Is this normal. SOrry if this is a retarded question. I have run into setbacks all day and my brain is fried.

what year are your radius arms? and what year radius arm bucket did you buy?

the earlier arms have a different spacing for the bolts then the later model arms...

Radius arms are from an 78-79 bronco. The original coil bucket retainers were from an EB. They lined up fine. I just used 2 holes as you can see from the pic below.

The hole spacing is slightly different between the f150's and eb radius arms. You can waller out the holes on the stock cups cross over.

phillippi i think thats the way the are... i think they are the mis aligned seats that allow you to spin around and mount the coils accordingly. i have the same set and they lined up 2 ways diagnal. on side i did have to waller out a bit my arms and stuff are froma fullsize so maybe thats the deal i still love them beefy and i dont have to take the seat off to get the coil out...

I was looking at that pic again and noticed that I could move the bucket t the other holes to move the axle back about 3/4"... I might do that to help with firewall issues like Matt said.

I heard that Bob was Ill and is getting better.

The angled holes are a great idea. It will allow you to move the lower bucket around to get better positioning, so that the coil is at the proper angle

I had to do this with my lower seats. They were too far forward and I was getting alot of Coil bow. Moving the lower seat back 1" gave the coil a better angle and it also gave me room to mount my forward position shock.
