since i already have my front suspension planed i need to plan the rear. auto fab guys were geting 18inches out of the stock springs,they had a forlink to keep the axle parallel with the road at all times,but do u think they fliped the rear spring hangers for lift and travel. but still how do u get that travel.im trying to keep the rear cheaper without having to fab a 6-link,but i dont want to use revolver shackles for travel.once the spring is flat and goes down its just hanging, so if u land a jump the springs would only start to work when they get to there arch point and beyond, i want constand pressure to help soften the landings. any ideas?
