So it's going to be 3 link front and 4 link rear

10 inch front travel shocks
12 inch rear travel shocks

Dislocating springs with bumps stop inside them

All joints are 4 inch joints no bushes.

Should be cool

Yeh man, time for a change. There's very few events on anymore, so it's more a case of being able to use the car to its full potential at the events that are on !

Leaf springs and hard winching don't really go hand in hand from my experiences over the last few years.

To be honest he's doing very well still and I love it, this is just the next and final stage for him. That will be it once it's coiled I won't go any further with it.

Challenge event in Devon last weekend

Was good fun, boiled up as fan died and ripped two hubs off hahha

But mended all of it and got back out.

Last pics of it on leaf springs, goes off to be coiled next weekend

I've got some standard samurai axles for james to do the conversion on.
