I wonder why you are selling those Greg

I'm in Iraq and thus in no position to buy them, but was wondering how you liked them? Any problems on the street? Perform well on the trail?

Hey guys...........

These are great on the trail for articulation. On off camber situations, they get a little scary. If you crawl over rock gardens and such, they are a must have. Do not attempt a hillclimb with them or you may need a buddy to put you back on all fours( Baker ). They have their plus AND drawbacks as with any modification. These are definitely not good on the street. I have seen people modify them so that they can be locked on the street or trail when necessary by drilling and tapping them for a set screw. I never got around to doing so. Maybe Chuck should originally sell them that way and there wouldn't be such mixed feelings on these pieces. If they had the option to be locked when needed, these are a Must have. I would recommend modifying these to anyone who purchases them. Madgyver has a drawing of how to lock them and you can contact him for it. Since most of my wheeling is not done in a rock garden or RTI ramp, I have removed them and am selling them so I can go a different route. ( 4 link and 1 ton axles )

Hope this clears up any confusion.

I have this set up on my 69 Bronco. I did a track bar in the back which works great. I have a video of it on youtube on how I did this hopefully this helps. It's under crazybroncoman's 69 extreme early Bronco specs.

Sorry for tyhe delay in responding, I have been in Baja. Anyway about the spring rockers. I tell everyone "they are for off-road and you will not like them on-road" With that said I ran them for years on my EB. This is what I find from myself and others. They are predictable, they will add body roll. How much depends on your shocks and the spring and shackle bushings. Shocks dampen spring action so shocks will increase or decrease the body roll. Soft S&S bushings will allow the leafs to twist in their mounts. That is why some notice that the rear axle seems to come out from under the truck on side hills. It happened that the bushings that I used when designing the spring rockers were stiff so I had hard time understanding why/how this happened from the pictures people sent to show how their body would slide off the diff. Finally had the chance to see this problem in person and realized what was going on. So if you run the spring rockers you need to also run hard S&S bushings also. The spring rockers work but are not for everyone. If you only run off-road and want max. articulation out of leafs this will help you get there. If you don't need max. articulation why bother. They seem to work better (less body roll) on the wider springs like bigger truckes have.
