who here can three wheel on leafs i was wondering if you could or should i try and fab something but i dont know what. maybe a 2 link mounting to both front leaf spring mounts would that work or should i just leave them.

Leaf's aint' that clean with hydraulics, what kinda car is it? Useally the best thing is to fabricate a triangular 4-link set up, works alot better.

you might want to look into getting a 3 link or 4 link i just did a hydro install on a 1995 ford ranger with leaf springs in the back i couldn`t get it to 3 wheel

I had a Mits Mighty Max, Leaf springs had to go. But damn that was a Nasty ride.

you can 3 on leaves, it has even been done in europe. Doesnt look clean though

in that truck i had 12" strokes in the rear and 6 batts acrossed the back next to the tailgate

yeah you can 3 with leafs but yeah they don't look as good as a 3 or 4 link does. go to a 4x4 shop and get the pivot shackles for leaf springs and they work perfect!

you would have to add a sway bar of some type because the rearend would move side to side

Just 4-link it dude. Isn't but about $250 bucks, looks cleaner, and functions sooooo much better. :biggrin:

you can 3 good on leaves just depends on your setup.my setup sure wont three the way it is. also, you dont realize how light the back of a pickup is untill you've owned and work on one for a while.thats the main problem with it.

the best leaf setup to 3 witrh is bridging with coils, going mono-leaf and using the leaves as your 4 link.

it's what the 4x4 rock climbers use so there leafs can pivot without snapping. it's like adding a powerball with 90 degree rotating access.
