I dont see the comparison between rodders and 4x4 as far as spring under goes, spring under is in alot of 4x4s and most 2wd's standard, and alot of rodders run 4 links.
What techniques could be adapted from rodders and spring under to be used in a 4x4, that commonsense and other applications don't tell you.
Its a pretty simple process IMO without bringing rodder style setups into the equation, cut the perchs off weld new ones onto the bottom of the axle tubes, then steering etc will have to be changed asto not hit the motor or lift the motor up etc etc and the list goes on.
I would compare it to a 40/60 series cruiser etc, as it is in a 4x4 format already, its proven to work rather than comparing a spring under hilux to a hotrod??? WTF.
I feel quiet good about myself without flaming anyone, and this is not a flaming just plain and simple facts, with a little bit of common sense thrown in to mix things up.
Once again what are your reasons for thinking about spring under, im not taking the piss, its a simple question. IMO a hilux with a set of flipped rims, ifs rear housing, ifs hubs and kept low on a set of 35s is as stable as you need it to be in most cases, running a track width like a patrol or wider and much lower....
Mine is no comp truck, so i dont have the comppp stattusssss, this will give you an idea of how low you want to go, mine is spring over, on a set of almost flat springs that are around 3inchs longer than standard front and rear, 35inch rubber and it doesn't scrub although to go 3inchs lower again you'll see how low it will be and what would be involved. When i put 31's back on it, it sits no higher than a stock hilux with non sagged stock suspension. I just can't see the justification for spring under on a truck that is originally spring over, stability yes but the con's far outweigh the COG bonus.
