you coudl check out josh pariseaus xj from the ttc a few years ago, it had 1/4 elliptic just to give you some ideas. i have also seen it on one other xj but i can't remember where it was sorry.

So it's unibody. Just fab around it. I would take a u shaped piece of steel and bolt it on the unibody rail. Then bolt the front end of your spring to the U bracket. Or visa vers but you get the idea. Just make sure to use a long bracket on the rails so it will spreed the stress out. The rest would ust be a normal 3/4 elliptic.

Problem is with the 3/4 Eliptic you will probably have alot of uneven flex and some hill climbs would suck. Dont you think theres another route.

If youre going to do it post pics when youre done I want to see how well it works. :D

Ive heard of people haveing flex problems with the 1/4 elip. but not as much with the 3/4 elip. Ive even heard of people locking the top spring when they dont want it to drop like that. Could you expand on what you mean?

3/4 sucks. I had it, and wrapped lots of springs with it. Get a GOOD traction bar if you are gonna run it. And dont ever back up :rolleyes:
