 :usa:Hi Guys Sinbob here, just checking in.....I am new to this so if I do something stupid :hammerhead: just bear with me......Got an 85yota with marlin crawler, 5.29 gears.....and a whole bunch of other stuff, but I inherited it with a skyjacker lift and it is soooooo stiff it is rattling my teeth when I drive it.  So I have some suspension questions :help:  So if anybody out there knows about the crawler leaf springs could use some  :help:  Ty Sinbob

See if I can find someone with a camera.......am just finishing up my exoskeloton and am in the process of mounting my winch, compressor and lights.......got to get some tunes forit though....getting tired of singing to myself...get all kinds of strange looks at the stop lights...lololol
What I really need is some info on the crawler springs.......Do the front ones use the same mounts, or do they have to be cut and rewelded?????
Then marlin has some 4in springs on clearance?????   Are they any good?????
Thanks for the welcome!!!!!!
