i have a project that i'm building up - got most of my engine, tranny and t-case ideas sorted out.
I have a 85 chevy suburban that i was thinking about mounting the leaf springs to the rear of the 40 - i believe there 63" long. I realize that there will be some fabrication with mounting them to the frame, which i have no problem with. I thought i would have better ride and more flex with these springs. then i'd build a beefy trac bar for it. I really haven't heard or seen to many people do this, i heard of them using them on mini-trucks but haven't seen any on 40's I was thinking about using the spring hangers from the suburban and retrofting them onto the cruiser frame with some obvious modification. haven't thought to far into this so its not at all bomb-proof yet just throwing around an idea for some input.
thanks all
