Doing a build and would like any feedback from ya'll I could get.
No pics yet have not really started just compiling parts.
Here is the run down:
FJ-40 Frame
Aqula 45 tub (no bed)
Dana 60 front and rear
Chevy diesel
SM465
NP295
My question
What leaf springs can I use. I am going to sping over and do a reversal while pushing the front springs and rear springs as far as I can front and back. I am not interested right know in any radical suspension setup (a;though I am very impressed with some of your setups....sweet). This will be my first build and I want to keep it kind of simple to build my knowledge and I have no intentions of making a straight rok crawler.
I want a spring that obviously will not be too springy or not springy enough. I plan on putting as lage a tire as will work????. I would, however, lower the tire size to allow for a better spring setup.
Any other suggestions input would be great. I have one restoration under the belt and now am wanting to build something from "crap" as my wife calls it. And yes she is refering to the Danas.
