    I thought is was called a quarter elipticle or something. I like the bumpers.

    I am in Orlando Florida at the moment. The weather is great but there isn't a mountain to be seen.

      The beaches are great too, especially during spring break. Too bad Orlando is a little far away...

        It belongs to the poster helbnd1. You can see it on his rear license. Hey, helbnd1 post up some specs on your rear suspension. It looks like you have links as well as a full rear leaf. Inquiring minds want to know! But your rig is flat out sick for sure...

          I am stuck at a Microsoft conference. I will make it to Kennedy Space Center tomorrow though, but that will be about it.

            It looks like he has shackles on both ends, the links are there to keep axle from moving frt and rr. I have seen this system before its a great way to get max flex without going coilovers. It also looks like he might have a buggy spring set-up on the rear.

                The buggy spring set-up is simple to do. All it is is a main leaf cut apx 18" and bolt cut end to frame then hook your shackle to it. The major downside is if you dont run any links, when you flex it up and have to back up your axle wants to drive under your rig the buggy leaf isnt strong enough to transfer the power to your tires, now if you run links your axle wont move,but if you went to that much trouble making links you are 3/4 way to coilovers. Hope this helps you.
