I'm thinking about putting them on the back of my 85.
I've heard that they make downhill a little wild <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">
How long to make them?
Opinions?

hey Vova, If you are going to do a buggy leaf, run a limiter strap dead center on the axle. set it to allow the full leaf to extend but prevent the 1/2 from leaving the frame. that way it wont pack up on decents and you wont loose any articulation because the strap is in the center. <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0">
