Tf2 suspension question
 
I received a blazer body in the mail today and this will be my second blazer. It's obvious that being top heavy is one of the biggest obstacles. Curiously trying something I mounted the springs (under)the axle instead of the spring being on top to try and gain a lower COG. It's going to be a while before I get this thing rolling I was just curious if anyone has done this before and possibly have any info / advice on running the springs under the axle or if there's any benefit to it whatsoever.


Thanks,

I know it's been done before, but I don't recall off the top of my head who's done it. The simplest way to do it would be to use u-bolts to attach the leafs to the axles. You'll probably need to move a couple of things around between the chassis rails to get everything to clear, but it's certainly doable.

Your welcome, I just built my first tf2 so I've spent a lot of time reading lately and he has a great looking build.
