I have only seen one build with these so far and it was linked...I haven't seen anyone run leafs with them yet. I would imagine you could if you make the parts necessary to do it...I would also imagine you would need to modify the housing some.

OK got the Black widow Housing,Stripped down all the link Brackets and was able to use 2 brackets for candidate's for spring pad's ( 1 Extra )....After some measuring one spring is interfering with the Pumpkin ( like a Dana-60) It will have to be knotched. So I took my axle and frame down to the local machine shop,so They can get a good Centered Fit With a Sweet Pinion angle. I'll post pics of progress,Wont be for 3 weeks though  |
