coil over shocks

Post by mattstar »

Can someone tell me what the advantage of going to a coil over shock set-up is, and wether or not you run with the leafs still on the car, some pics would be tops. Can you bolt them in to a mq with front and rear custom shock mounts? (rancho 9000's fitted at the mo') if so do I get rid of the leafs and put in ladder bars? what's the go? please explain!! :?: :?: :?:

if you go coil-overs there would be no need to run leaves there would be a big difference in ride and articulation if you went coil overs instead of your leaves

Silly idea?
Could you run a single leaf, with a anti-wrap bar
for location. And then fit coil over shocks on
custom mount's.
Would it work.

with all the torque produced it would still wrap around i reckon

and if your going to the expense of coil overs i don't see any benifits of a leaf still being in there

just run coil overs and a linked set up
