Rear Half leafs ?

Stick · Jun 23, 2004

I was watching the Offroad truck Challange and I saw a Cherokee on there that had what looked like Half of a leaf spring. It flexxed like crazy?

Any info or pics on this ?

I would appreciate it :worship:

Greg at CRok uses them, there is a write up on the link. Contact him and talk to him about his set up. He is pretty cool and should give you the info you need.

it's as road worthy as a rear coil suspension would be. have to figure out the links right. it might be easier just to put the coils there instead though, since you still have to fab all the links.

I wasn't refering to quarter elips. not being road worthy, anything can be road worthy if you set it up right, just the thought of Beezil's rig crusing the streets of Chicago tickles me.

the suspension set-up is extremely road worthy. If it was set-up with a swaybar, I think it would a great ride.

its the hydro steer, lack of sheetmetal, and 37's with 5 pounds of air in them that makes it hilarious to ponder its road-worthiness!

Bah, I thought the thing rode as smooth as a Caddilac. A little loud though.

I want to see you drive it down to the "hood" and watch everybody. That would be funny as hell. :scottm:

Should be able to make a quarter elliptic rear spring set up road worthy......off road race trucks run them at 100+ mph.
