lets see some pics of of your trick coil suspension, my main need is how you did the links, and what kind of coils you used.
thanks

here's the progress of my buddy's scrambler with stock tj front coils flipped upside down and used on the rear. the ideas for the 4-link come from a couple of different rigs i've read about on here and modified for his setup. works great in the driveway, we'll see this weekend how it does on the trail.

you saw mine. Not too hard (first thing I ever built and it worked). If I can do it anyone can. Just be patient and measure and remeasure then measure again. I wouldn't use the same rear setup I did (4 link). I like the triangulated because its cleaner but they rear steer a little more though. the front 3 link with a ford radius arm on one side and a single link on the other seems to be the way to go. I used rear TJ springs all the way around. It flexes pretty well but kinda soggy and it unloads when I'm going up a steep hill so I have to have a limiting strap.

Here's a picture of one side of my rear 4 link. The other side is the same.:p The lower links are triangulated, and the upper links are less triangulated. The springs are front XJ springs, I think.
