i am not sure.
Mick Ellem said it was the craziest and most exciting shoot he has ever been on!!
Matt flipped the black zook.
I rolled mine off a big ledge, mine went over 1 full rotation and then back onto its side!
He got both of them with the camera too, so you may well see them in the mag

The cv's in an 80 series are fairly big, i dont think they will break under the zook.

actually a double shackled leaf can compress more than a coil spring so you don't need such a tall frame arch or you can set a lower ride height and still have decent articulation. it's already "captive" to prevent uncontrolled over-extension - where as this would be an additional thing to do for coils. it's easier to modify spring rates in leaf packs. factory produced leaves would be cheap to obtain also.
it's not a bad way to go really

also, i am putting coils in the back of mine. So this is just another option we can show potential customers

exactly right. you have two decent test mules there. people can see how the different set ups work. you get to try things and test them in comps. in the end, customers know what you recommend to them would be effective and comp-tested. win-win!
