GCM Leaf Springs, got pics, impressions?

[derekmac]

So the GCM leaf spring kit has caught my eye, and I was wondering if anyone with the F100 (or K10) body has installed them? I'm a visual guy, so I'd love to see what they look like before I pull the trigger.

Also, what are your thoughts on them? My rig is more of a trail rig, but I do like to do some crawling too, so I don't really want to lose too much articulation.

Check out Itali83's Ascender thread, he's got one with leafs, you will lose a lot of articulation but they look great and the driving style is different. He's done a lot of great fabrication with leaf mounts, etc!
Rear leaf only is not as articulation limited as front and rear.

I retrofit some rc4wd on my rigs. This is one I used both front and back leafs. More information in my build thread

I would only be doing the rear, just to give it a bit more of a scale look. I think they look pretty kickass, so I don't mind losing some articulation to get the look I'm after.

Thanks for the links, I'll give them a good read through.

With rear only it should be ok. One thing nice about leafs on the rear is they actually help a little with torque twist. So you will gain and lose a
Little. I think you should like it.
