Really Poor guys coilover set up
« on: Apr 27, 2003, 04:57:19 PM »
We are all going for more flex, so lets see if this would work....A ton of companies claim they have a three or four link set up for various rigs that keep the axle where it sould be, noemally but how about this. Take your springs and remove all but the longest one or two leaves and weld in the needed brackets to mount some Kings, Bilstein, Sway-away, coilovers from the axle to a cross member directly above the mount on the axle, set the desired height on the coilovers, and done. I know I have oversimpifitd the equation but I only did it to spark conversation.... Your leafspring will keep your axle whaere it is meant to be... So will it work??? or should I go  :thud:

Think about axle wrap.......BIG time. Links eliminate all wrap.  You would need such good traction bars that you mine as well have made a link system. Way to keep the old thinker working though.
