Flip Kit

Post by baddboy »

Was asked by a few to supply a photo of flip kit and rear suspension setup. So here it is. Is my 75 Series ute in case you were wondering.

Not intended as a dig, but is a track bar necessary being sprung under with a spring pack that beefy ?

Has a fair bit of articulation and stops wrapping in its tracks. Recent photo which still has about 300mm more to drop.

Looks good Baddboy but if you don't mid a bit of edumacation here.

Understand the need if the diff was attached on a coil pad but how much / or what would you need this 4 with a leaf spring set up.

Basically it looks like below picture. Due to the fact these springs are heaps longer and thinner than standard. Plus I have Superior drop shackles in the loop as well.

Or springs can deflect to take this shape under load, when the pinion has rotated up in reaction to the torque applied to the tires.

Hairy one has obviously never got axle tramp before when the springs start to flex and the car starts to jump

Badboy.
Still not 100% on it . Yep did see the drop shackles which adds to the confusion.

The part that has me confused is that with the kit installed when the diff drops down wards the Kit would tend to put an addition kink into the uni's at the diff side. or is this to stop that additional kink?? I'm thinking that the leaves & the kit have two differing arcs to travel.

Scotyz. Yeh have had the axle tramp but didn't put it down to the above reason. At the time thought it was shit grip from the tyres..

Thanks for the explaination guys.
