it would handle just like any coil or 1/4 eliptical setup, which would be fine as long as you get the spring rate right. However I think mounting leafs in this fasion will limit there length so much that you will also limit the suspension travel you can get.

Thanks for the input,I want to build a set up that will give me MEGA flex.I was planning on running 3 link w/20" race runner coil over shocks.I have seen a few rigs running the trans mounted springs and they have MEGA flex and I could probly build that set up a whole lot cheaper than buying the coil over's.I am just doing some research before I start buying stuff.Thanks Steve:smokin:

Pics of what? My toyota? I've got some but it's still a street beater,as soon as i can gather enough parts to start building it I will start cutting it up.Pics of trans mounted springs? No if you go to www.sierrarockcrawlers.com at look at wacky willies you will see some awesome articulation.
