A suspension assembly for a vehicle having a frame comprising downwardly extending beams and a plurality of mounting brackets secured to the downwardly extending beams configured to have a first suspension coupled thereto, the assembly comprising:
- an adaptor having a body configured to be disposed below one of the downwardly extending beams of the frame such that a top surface extends along the one of the downwardly extending beams of the frame, the body including a plurality of mounting portions configured to align with and be coupled to the plurality of mounting brackets to couple the adaptor to the downwardly extending beams of the frame via the mounting brackets, the adaptor configured to have at least a portion of a suspension coupled thereto.
A method for modifying a suspension of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- coupling a suspension to an adaptor having a body with a plurality of mounting portions;
- and
- coupling the adaptor with the suspension coupled thereto to a plurality of mounting brackets coupled to a downwardly extending beam of a frame of the vehicle such that the body of the adaptor is disposed below the downwardly extending beam and a top surface of the adaptor extends along the downwardly extending beam.
A method for modifying a suspension of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- uncoupling a first suspension from mounting brackets secured to downwardly extending beams of a frame of the vehicle;
- coupling adaptors to the mounting brackets, such that bodies of the adaptors are disposed below the downwardly extending beams of the frame and top surfaces of the bodies extend along the downwardly extending beams, the bodies of the adaptors having mounting portions configured to align with the mounting brackets;
- and
- coupling a second suspension to the adaptors.
