California. USA 4Crawler Web Wheeler The biggest issue is that you'll likely need more than 4 leaves in the front spring pack and too thick a pack will cause the drag link and steering J-arm to hit the u-bolts on the driver's side. You can use special flattened u-bolts (like OME sells) or a flipped ball on the J-arm (and an adjustable drag link) to get clearance for a thicker spring pack. Reason for the thicker pack is that rear springs are fairly soft, for example I run 6 rear load leaves plus an anti-wrap leaf on my front springs. r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: rear springs on front without cross over steering [Re: 4Crawler] #399083 02/13/04 08:37 PM Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 1,681 Baltimore, MD USA fourwd1 Body Damage is Cool Another issue is that rears up front move the axle forward ~2", so you'd need adjustable drag link and torque rod, or x-over. - seen in FOUR WHEELER mag July 2006 & OFF-ROAD mag Feb 2007 - '84 4Runner ARBed 5.29s F&R,4.7 & 2.28 t-cases,hy-steer,BudBuilt skid,30spl Longs,36" TSLs,Chevys '83 P/U, Buick 231 V6,Holley 4 bbl,Weiand intake,Downey headers,TH350 w/700R4 gearset Re: rear springs on front without cross over steering [Re: BJWEST] #399084 02/14/04 08:55 AM Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 3,568 Grass Valley, CA Snowtoy Roll Me Over I would wait and save up the $$ for the x-over steering. When we did my buddies truck last spring the steering was scary enough on the street that my buddy opted for the x-over. More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.
