are you using coils and are you using a track bar like the front on a ford.
just tryin to figure out if that would be better than leafs flex wise :smokin:

dont really care about road manners :flipoff2: tryin to be a little different :rasta:

I beleive he uses 1/4 eliptical leaf springs, and no matter what you will need some kind of lateral control for the axle. But I guess you could use a wishbone upper link but I think a track bar is simpler.

I'd post a pic but I can't post attachments. I haven't been on the PBB for a few months. Obviously things have changed a bit. Someone let me know what I have to do to post a picture and I'll throw one up.

exploder (need more room= kids) any way ill be tranfering every thing of it on to the exploder so i figured why not play with the rear too:D
