hey i was just wondering if anyone had used the front and rear flexi leafs from locktup 4x4?
if anyone has can they please post before and after flex shots?
also how do you find them?
what would you do differently and what have you added as well as the springs(dropped c/member,shackles)

thanks

Hey.I just put some in the rear of mine and so far so good.They seem to flex quite well(sorry no pics).You have to move the front spring mount forward a fair bit.If you use the stanard front mount it will move your diff back about 7".

that looks very decent boof.

i was thinking of also using the creeper shackle mounts.with extended shackles.

i might just move my front mount forward 2 or 3 inches so my depature angle is better and move the rear mount forward to fix the shackles angle.
i may even think about gettin the superior drop shackles that twist as well.
i know i will need extended shafts but i was planning on doing a 1 piece anyway.

would it flex better if i bent the retaining clips up? i have been told this lets the springs open up more?
cheers

You may want to check with a engineer about the creeper shackle mounts if you are going to drive it on the road and keep it legal.
