I have never seen anything like that. Its kinda cool idea though.
For smoothness, the bolt would need rollers so it would roll through the slot..............
From what I was told they handle better on the road than shackles if set up right.
I would think articulation would be limited a bit since there would be no shackles to be leveraged out away from the centerline of the spring. I know the leafs separate, and twist a bit, but with the sliders they couldn't as if there were a shackle. So possibly more stress of the springs (read: breakage) if articulation were repetitive and excessive.
I too think its a bad idea for a DD.
to get it out of the way why not build them in the frame and have a 2-3" bracket through the frame, if you can keep up with my words-writing
sounds like a good idea, but that would take away a lot of lift without having the height of the box just like a shackle. It would also change the caster a lot on the front axle
looks like you dont have enough compression travel.. looks like your spring is bending weird on the front end of the spring (right rear spring) from being bottomed out in the slider.
I have not been able to put them to the test yet because I am still tuning the suspension...in a few months or so I plan to be mashing on them pretty hard
locked 4x4: Any update on this? Have you finished tuning and done any mashing yet? Thanks BigMike
