A member of RCMT did the rear for me. Problem with leafing the rear is I would need to make some sort of special mounts because the rear of the Bruiser frame is much wider then the mounting area on a TLT axle where you could stick leafs, thats why I was thinking of 4 linking. Ill look into seeing what it would take to keep the leafs, I know DJ did it on TMA so Ill have to look at some pics of that.

i have a frame that will work its a hilux frame that i picked up a couple months ago, i wanted to through it on my mudder, and i noticed the same problem, so i bent the frame in. i never mounted leafs in the rear becouse i was too lazy to put them on, buut they should bolt up in the stock locations, and it still looks goo, if you want some pics ill post them

if you got those rc4wd straight axle conversion things you could probably easily fab up leaf mounts that would mount on top of those

sweeet so see this is back in progress. so youre ditching the bruiser axles and going tlts? i think you should lower the body to where you can barely see the frame and then put 1.9 claws or whatever.

looking that way right now, I cant drop the body much more though because of the drop bed, so the body lift look will have to do...
