you will destroy them, i destroyed rears in the rear, and having even more weight above them will destroy them in no time flat

It would be very interesting to see. Aren't they longer than front ones?? If they are they may make a steeper gradient on the curve and may work????Just my $0.01 worth.

It would be like running any old hilux rear in the front, just using a weaker spring
the pic shows my rear springs after 4 months when i pulled em out, they went like this after 2 weeks, on my first ormeau trip
i would believe on a climb if you started to bounce on the front you would bend them like this if not possibly break a main leaf.

But u also took ur load leaf out remember. So this would make em weaker.

I dont think you would run the rear springs with the load leaf while being used int he front

yeah my rear springs in the rear bent pretty quick aswell, i just thought climbing hils there would be less load on the front so they might not bend. but probly not
