Stock TF2 Leaf Removal

[YDAZOPEN]

I have heard about suspension tweaks for stock parts on the TF2. Is this something that any of you have done or can it even be done at all? I have no plans on going with the link conversion as I want to keep it 100% stock looking.

What I have heard is that people take one leaf out and remove the spring from out of the stock shocks.

Does this sound legit or worth the time?

I use the main leaf with the longest support leaf that's it... seems to hold up good.so far the axle housing failed first

I Run all stock 3 standard leaf springs the o ring mod and with revolvers on the back it flexes great not over the top just enough to look great

I am new to the trail finder 2 so what is the oring mod?

I haven't done it yet cause i'm like you want to keep stock as long as i can till i think to get the feel of it first then do the upgrade or mods..
Here is a pic of how it's done some put 4 like this or just 2 on the bottom or just 2 on top you'd have to experiment...I only have a couple of o-rings here but i'm going to try Nitro tubing in thin slices....

There are a bunch of different ways to set up the leafs to get more performance out of them. I recommend starting with the TF2 guide stickied here. There's a whole section on suspension setup and mods.

I wound up going linked, which you can see if you want on my thread I have going Malickies New TF2 RTR Modifications even still I may, when I have some time and more patience work on some of the mods to see if I can manage the same articulation or close to it at any rate with leafs.
