made a EB leaf springs up front? a buddy of mine has a j##p with full width D44 and 9", 5.13's, 37's, sprung over with 1.5" leafs, and it will flex like this... sorry im posting a pic of a j##p but hey, my broncos in the background ;D

ive seen a couple eb's done like this, but its not a popular mod.

I've also seen a couple didnt like how they did it but I guess if your after flex than thats one way to go although with extended radius arms and a WAH you should be able to flex at least that much if not more as that heep. Or just sell your bronco and buy a scout. Had to say it.

let me put it in this perspective:

If leaf sprung front suspensions provided more advantages vs. coil sprung ends; Jeep wouldn't have copied the EB's 30+ year old suspension design for the TJ in '96 <?>.

I gots it now

there's a yellow half cab that comes to FFF and bronco daze i see every year that has leafs up front. i believe he's on 40" hawgs. he also has a tubular grille.

BTW, those are 5 lug dana 60's.

I have a 66' that came from the PO with a really bad attempt at a leaf spring front susp. Under the advice of Saddleup and others on Bfix I am in the process of gathering the parts to allow me to cut all that crap out of mine and reconstruct the coil spring susp. Take a look at Saddleups' rig and I don't think you will have any questions about the ability of coils to articulate.

Leaf spring front thread

I have a very good thread on Bfix about leaf spring front susp. It's called "leaf spring front suspension????" There is a lot of very solid information in that thread. Take a look.

anyone ever....
