sierra - leaf to coil conversion
Posted: Tue Oct 25, 2005 6:47 pm
Gday first of all i did search and i still have some questions regarding coil conversion on the rear of a sierra.
1) When converting a leaf sprung sierra to coils, would it be safe to run the trailing arm links from the original sierra leaf mounts?? They would be plated on both sides and across the front of the mount.
2) In a triangulated 4 link setup would flex be limited by the lenght of the links?? (trailing arms and top links)
3) And if anyone has any ideas on coils, links or joints that have been used in this type of coil setup please let me know.
Pics would also be nice!!
Thanks alot.
