i have a soa, but my rear articulation pretty much stinks and i'm not ready to 3 link yet, has anyone tried buggy springs? and what kind of results have you had? this mod doesn't seem to be too in vogue anymore.....this is for a trail only rig so i'm not worried about how it will affect me on the highway etc.

something like this is what i've got in mind, not sure if i need the 2" square tube or not though, was thinking of just having the buggy spring flat against the frame.

IMO, flat against the frame is fine ...be sure you use a stiff/thick leaf tho, the buggy should only open at the limits of articulation so it minimizes it's effects on sidehilling and unloading
 
i have seen a few on the front but only one done in the rear, didnt look like the best idea to me. wouldnt you worry about unloading on steep grades?
 
Just do a wishbine and tj coils. With the buggy springs you got to 3 or 4 link it. I did the wish bone moved the rear back 22" and love it.
 
Eliptical set ups are either good or bad. As previously mentioned the ones that work the best are the ones that only come out at close to full flex. If it comes out earlier you can have serious issues with unloading on off camber and bouncing on step climbs.
 
yes on all sides.
 
yes on all parts :)
 
what about buggy srpings in the front, would they unload?
 
That was only in the mod section ;)


And yes they would.. while climbing..
