3/4 elliptic spoa done

[roc box]

i bit the bullet and went with the 3/4 spoa i used the front main for the top spring due to its higher spring rate than the rear seems to work ok.flexes well without being rediculous had it on side angle not too bad,didnt seem to want to unload.havent tried hill climb yet but doesnt seem too unstable on road,not pinned yet but doesnt seem much different than the standard spoa on road.heres a quick pic up a home made ramp

[sierrajim]

will be interested to see how it goes climbing on a slight side angle. Mine was super dooper until then.

I've got two springs on the buggyleaf to make it stiffer and mines a soft top.

[roc box]

have you got any pics did it flex more or less than mine its at full droop in the pic

[nicbeer]

Looks good.

Anyone know if it possible to do a 3/4 and leave the orig spring mounts in? Thinking of doing the same and trying it out. But i dont want to remove the old ones so if don't like it can put it back in.

cheers

Nic

the spring will hit it ill let you know how mine goes ill give it a work out on sunday

[sierrajim]

I think it's more than that, hard to tell in a photo.

I do have heaps more unsprung weigth with MQ diffs, 36" tyres and 15x10 steel beadlocks.

I also have RUF with whacky shackles.

[roc box]

that would explain additional droop if i stand on the rim itll flex another 6 inches ill take it for a run on sunday but ill be shockless didnt get to the shop in time to get shocks so that should test stability a little more theres a little track 2 mins from home that has a bit of everthing ill let ya know how it goes

Just wondering what yous do with the fuel tank (i dont know about early models) because the fuel pipe runs straight infront of the r/h rear shackel and the fuel tank bracket is welded where the spring will sit do you replace the fuel tank with another type (if so what) or move it over and make a new funel.

[roc box]

moved it to the left modified the filler using original brackets cut off and re welded moved exhaust.

it woul be a bit hard to temp it with all the chassis rails needing to be cleared so the springs can be mounted.

Wesley, the bigest part of the job was moving the tank. You'll need to mod your exhaust first. Rocbox just cut his short where I re-bent mine outside the chassis. Remove all your tank mount (you'll reuse 2 of them), and you are now free to move the tank up an inch and to the left about 4 inchs. As for all your fuel lines just relocate them above the body surport brace just forward of the tank. The filler pipe cut in 2 equal lengths than 'S' bend a 2inch and fit the 2 original rubber pipes each end. Once your chassis rails are clean it only take 30mins to fit up you springs.
By the time I started mine and finished Rocbox's around 6 hours of work.

[Wesley]

Thanks ill also be using yj jeep springs and a seirra spring cut in halve. how many leaves do you's think i should use or should i just put in all 3 and remove some if i think its needed. Ill be running 33"s on standard zook diffs with lockers SPOA (may go bigger depends on $$$$$$).

[Lobby]

You'll only need one spring from the from spring pack.

[roc box]

be careful with the longer yj springs theyll flex better but might make it more prone to unloading

[hypo]

so did u take it out 4 a test run ?? how did it go ??

[roc box]

not yet mate something came up ill try to get out soon. carby clagged out gotta rebuild it then ill take it out probly mid week or next weekend ill keep ya posted.

[roc box]

finally got it out today still shockless but went well none the less had it on some real good side angles climbed a few off camber things, as far as i can tell doesnt seem bugger all different to drive off road stability wise than standard spoa except it flexes better.i give it a big thumbs up should be even better when i get shocks in it

[RB zook]

wat happened to the idea of coils


looks good thou will have to come down and see it in action, OR you come wheelin up our way

[roc box]

coils are becoming like assh..les everyones got em just tryin to be a little different,and it was a lot easier and cheaper to set up

[roc box]

heres another pic for ya ryan

[redzook]

heres another pic for ya ryan

got width?

























u dont

[roc box]

will have soon when the wheel spacers get back from machinist. at least my rear flexes

[redzook]

37" tire below my slider

ur 31" only just makes it

lucky mine isnt built to be a ramp champ

[phreak]

roc box...whos the tool with the fat head in your car?

[RB zook]

wheres the flex???????

[roc box]

yeh thanks mate thatd be me

[phreak]

Are you built like a brick shit house with a brain to match? Didnt think they stacked turds that high.

[phreak]

I know you personally... troy u look like a nob in a tin can
