Oh i love the leafs!

Make no mistake about that..

They have a torsion effect you have to get used to.
A bit different than coilovers.
It can work to your advantage in some spots ive found.
Gotta get comfortable with floating tires.

I follow right along with others..i may have to find my line sometimes,due to the low hang tcase(needs a tummy tuck).

But im happy with it!

My only complaints...
They should have done the front shackle flip from factory..
The Low hanging Tcase..it could have been minimalized a bit more.

I just got a new TF2 kit and am gathering pieces and parts for the build. I ran one with leaves a few times and it is a different animal to drive.

I tote the tire with my coilover'd 1.55 TJ so I am used to that aspect now lol

Did you get the servo fixed from the comp at Disney? Did you find out what went wrong with it? Was freaky how it locked down solid!

Nope...its locked up solid.
Contacted the manufacturer...no help there.

Looks like a HH or a Hitec for replacement.

Great job on the tummy tuck. I have been working on one, as well. For the servo, the Savox 1210 is another good option for this rig. Plenty of power for a narrow axled 1.55, and it's WP out of the box. I've had very good experience with it on several rigs.

Just FYI...
The reason the tcase was clocked so low was so the driveshaft clears the bottom of the tranny when the suspension is compressed.

Your driveshaft looks close to touching the tranny case.

The shocks bottom out before that happens.

Intermission time, liked the first vid and liking the second one (20 minute version) so far. Second burrito, same as the first, little more hot sauce and another frosty beverage. Trying to decide whether to do front shackle reversal or not.

Any more detail about how you mounted the front spring hangers for the reversal? Only one screw per side holding them to the frame? Did you drill out the frame and use the shoulder screws for the shackles where they pass through the frame rails?
