Getting the Wheeling Fever
So my boss is gonna let me have his old coils and coil buckets off his 89 ranger, he's getting coilovers.

I wanna go with coils up front, and I just wanted to make sure this is possible, they're both about the same size trucks.

My other question is about what I should use to hold everything in place. Radius arms with a track bar? Or I've been thinking about three link suspension. I really don't know much about suspension, other than leafs he he. Are there any good articles you could point me to? Thanks

Wheeler
this is a complex, highly debated, technical subject. link suspensions are complicated to design, and itll probably require welding and tubing notching. if your fabrication skills are up to it, go ahead.

for some good tech info, go to www.pirate4x4.com and look in the toyota forum, FAQ.

good luck!
