i guess i should start playing with the calculators and see if i can figure it out, never done it before

7-9" of seperation up front, 4-6" out back.

Longer upper link roll pinion up under droop.

Shorter upper link rolls it down.

= keeps it at the same angle as ride height.

Joints at the frame, bushings at the axle.

Well shit, I was just gonna say a RA style 3 link. A 'Y' link on one side, and a single link on the other. Panhard. Done. No bind. Adjustable caster angle due to the upper link on the 'Y'. Pinion rotates around the pivot of the 'Y' link as the suspension cycles - duh.

..... plus if your locked flex isnt as important anyways

This man speaks the truth!

i think if i were to do it thats probably what i would end up doing. i want as low as possible on 40's max

havent ran across any deals on a 60 yet, missed one in the JY


if all else fails ill do a HP 44 which the way i drive i should be able to make it live...hell my 35's still has factory joints in it

Ya... I wanted 35's at first then did prerunner fenders and could clear 37's. Told myself thats all I ever needed, and in reality....wait, screw reality.... I'm clearin 42's!

i have a big limitation that usually helps me stay in line....married...so i stay broke

 

[Boggin]

leafs ftw..

dude on another forum:
BS coils don't flex any better than leafs

But all in all go with what ever you have and want to do. I had both axles and chose leaf as it would not kill my pocket book cheaper for more flex for cost to cost.

 

[4.0B2]

Leafs can be done cheap and good...
