3 Attachment(s)
hey guys ive been looking at rear suspension setups that put less strain on the leafs and i wanted your guys input on if i should do them or not

the first is 034x4s version of a quarter elliptic
Attachment 93521

and the other one is the "front leaf mount"
z-box (mounts on frame and shackle mounts to bottom)
Attachment 93522

revolver (rear shackle)
Attachment 93523

let me know what you think, i know im over thinking flex and what not i just want less stress and binding in my suspension

Thanks
-Andy

The Z-box just looks like a terrible idea..

My vote is for Jey's idea. I'm pretty sure he had it pinned for street use and removed the pin for offroad.

I've actually run the Z-boxes and revolver's on two different Jeeps, I didn't run into any problems with either but each one handled differently, but if I had to do it again, it would be the revolvers ... If I didn't go coils...

HillPrideRanger 12-20-2010 08:58 AM

so is the vote for 1/4 elliptic or z-box revolvers?

If I was gonna run any of those, it'd be the Teraflex shackles.
