it's hard to say if it's legal, some place it is some place it's not.

BoogerWeldz (dirtySkivies on here) has had this setup for a while now, you should ask him.

yes 1/4 elliptical, if going through all the trouble to link your suspension do it right the first time and use coil-overs for the adjustablity.

Leafs can be adjusted just as much as a coilover and they are a helluva lot cheaper.

To say if they are truely legal Id be sketchy but I wouldnt worry about it, Id run 'em anyway.

I had double shackles for a while and got really bad death wobble around 45mph, so I took them off and put on Johnny Joint shackles instead, now all death wobble is gone.

i had 3/4 fer awhile. it gives you mad travel and looks great....but there is no weight on the drooped tire and traction is an issue. axle wrap was also a problem.
my  :twocents: is that it only looks good on a rti ramp.

happy trails
