Kinda ashamed of the updates I have. That's why I haven't posted any. The rear 1/4 eliptical springs are mocked up, no links yet. The front coil spring buckets are mounted, but going to come off and be flipped. I'll see if I can get some pics posted of my shamefull progress. Thanks for the intrest also.

Few shots. This is the stance I'm shooting for.   Coils and buckets, that are going to be flipped.   1/4 Eliptical  These are by NO means final shots. Still in early mock up  |

Thanks for the compliments fellas. There all heeps Steve, at least that is what I refer to them as. If I had a Yota in the drive way, wifes Sequia? (hmm), I may render it too. The springs are just 1/2" shipment banding. They hold there shape well, but time will tell if they last with abuse. Got some 2.2 Rock Crushers the other day. Now I have the delema of finding BL's that I like and work for my app. 14mm hex's w/ 8mm centers, full negative offset, 1 3/4 wide. May make some too. |

Well I got the front end linked up. Servo mounts, upper coil retainers, and tie rod are left. Rims are going to be a tight fit with these hubs.     |

Well I've made three sets of springs for this and finally got what I want. Unbelievably at a 15" WB all my links (minus the track bar) are going to be the same length front and rear  |

Thanks Spider, Cole. The leafs are a little soft with just 3 leafs so I will add 2 and see how it responds. After I get all the weight in the chassis, motor, battery... I will probably have to add even more. I should find a 1/8 small block to fill that engine bay.
