It is time I begin to look at linking my truck. It works well and I use every inch of the 14" travel shocks up front on my spring over suspension with shackle reversal and D60 sporting 42's. My issue is that I can't keep spring pins under it now and would like a little longer wheelbase and I have already moved the front axle forward 5-1/4 inches with the hangers hanging off the front of the frame rails.
I don't have a fortune to spend and I definitely have more time than money. That means doing it all myself of course and using as many readily available parts that I can. So I am thinking a coil spring front. They work well, springs can be had at a junkyard for 50-100 bones a pair (if not less cause I probably wouldn't pay over 50 a pair) I think I can find room for a 4 link under there somehow or another and still stay low if I am smart about it since I have full hydro steering.
But I want to know what my fellow cruiser heads have done, maybe suggestions for vehicles to get springs from and that sort of thing.
And a picture the morning before the 42's went on (those are 39.5's), she isn't flexed out all the way up front, but it gives something of an idea.
