Anybody seen a GM Fullsize with 1/4 elliptical rear spring setup? If so, post some pics. Want to check it out!

later

Somebody over on the CK5 board posted pics of a Quarter elliptical spring setup that he did on his early 2nd gen K5. Try searching for that one.

Here it is. http://coloradok5.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=blazer4x4&Number=348128&page=&view=&sb=&o=&fpart=1&vc=1

Thats exactly the one I was talking about. Thanks.

too bad he put the springs on pivots
no point in 1/4, with pivots it will act like a coil

i agree, something like that doesent need pivits. If i were building something like that, i would use some 3/4 ton springs cut in half, and mounted outside the frame, otherwise, with a heavy blazer body, iw oudl be too afraid it woudl get too tippy. And from what i hear, with the springs in 1/4 fashon, and outside the frame, it flexes 90% as well, and also gets rid of some of the evil sidehill roll. plus, who really uses all 100% of their 1/4 flex anyway?
