Sunder, I sent you an email with photos of my latest project. If you want to post them it's fine.

As for that link with the tj rear leaf "conversion".
I understand the delema and the need to not miss out on prime wheeling time. So, I can appreciate what he did from that stand point. It also makes doing it the right way easier in the future. All the junk that needs to be stripped of the axle and frame is done, only a couple of mounts and perches are left.
Now, other than that what he did is pure stone knives and bearskins, retro-grading, but without the nostalgia.

The bad habits of lifted tjs are well documented (if Moore was "documenting" it jeeps would be portrayed as responsible for the Kennedy assasination) so what this fellow did could be a god send for some. I just don't think he could engineer a better 4 link in the time he allotted to get it back on the road or he would have.

I can't see going sooooo backwards that I would eliminate the performance of coils and 4/5 link suspension for leafs?

Back to installing a front coil system, I forgot to mention that in all the coil-overed rigs we have done at the shop, all have antirock sway bars, because they have lots of body roll on corners. The stock sway bar won't work.
