i was only play wif ya..

is it IFS or solid front ??

if its ifs chop it out and get a solid axle in there.

if it solid axle front already, get some IFS rear springs, put them in the back with a 2" block under them and some 8-9" shackles, then put your original rear springs in the front, go crossover steering and then get it engineered 2 easy

well mine isnt exactly all legal,
but a run xd falcon rear springs with custom main leaves, and superior shackles on the rear, and in that pic i was running parabolics in the front with shock hoops and long shocks.
i now run hilux rears and crossover in the front.
the only thing on mine that would be unable to be engineered i would say are the shackles.

how do you find the parabolic springs? i have thought about using them but am unable to decide which brand to buy. any suggestions would be great.
How legal are longer shackles with the lift blocks and standard lux springs?

even though my setup is untested and uninstalled, in the shed i have ifs rear springs, custom rears for front 2inch dropped hangers and extended shackles. and al that will be able to be engineered and should flex well.... setup cost $420. so pretty much mine will be similar to hypo's

(ps, car already has cross over :armsup: )
