No, I do wonder what made you decide to run coils up front and springs rear. Just curious.

I have been running leafs front and rear for about 5 years. The back has always flexxed really well. The front.......not so much. I really wanted to put coilovers up front but they are too much money. We built My buddies Durango using Bronco parts and it flexxes amazing so I decided to build basically the same setup. Its like a long arm Bronco suspension but not expensive. We will just have to see. I still want coilovers

I ran stock bronco coils up front but found they were to soft for me so I switched to one ton van springs and put the bronco ones in the back and that felt just right. How do you like those revolver shackles?

The coils Im running are Deaver 6" for a 79 Bronco that are made to hold a BBF motor so they arent way to soft. They do compress and extend really well though. Stock coils I think I would just bottom out.

As for the revolvers.......I haved loved them so far. I have had them for a couple years and never had any complaints. I am a little nervous to see what they are going to do now with the front suspension being softer. My front end will sink more during braking which might make the revolver unload but I dont know. I have seen people with revolvers that have hated them and looked at mine and said Thats what they are supposed to do....whats wrong with mine?? I think for me having such a long rig makes them work really well and I hope they stay that way.

Hopefully in the next week I will have some more pics to post. Maybe flexxed out?????
