What ever happen to that guy selling the tubing on JSM? Would that work? Yes... If that guy would ever actually come up with it.  Yep. Just waiting on him. That is the only reason I log in over there, is to see if anything else has come of it. |

Are you just 4 linking the rear? Are you going to triangulate the uppers, lowers, or both? I would consider 2x2 .25 tubing for the links. Its about $80 for a 20' stick. I would also look into a 4 link calculator. If the geometry isn't right on the links you would be better off staying with leaf springs. Barnes runs this kit on 25% off from time to time . It would save you a bunch of time building brackets and burning up $35 drill bits. |

I can't afford something like that, but it is a nice set up and would defiinitely be worth it if I could afford it. |

with 4" lift springs you'll need some limit straps to keep from overflexing and losing a spring, also you'll need your bump stops extended, or just eliminate all that and go with FOA coilovers in the rear. 4 link gives you an enormous amount of flex in the rear and you have to tame that somehow or you'll end up breaking stuff.. Also Clyde sells a bushing at his shop for 11$ I'd look at doing a bushing on one end and Heim or Johnny Joint on the other to save money on doing them on both ends..

COIL springs on the Ghost....... I LOVE it! It needs that, especially since leaf springs seem to hate you!

especially since leaf springs seem to hate you! I went through this problem with my CJ. If you are spring over and have leafs, you will continue to bend/break them w/o some sort of anti-wrap device. If in the end, you decide not to link it for whatever reason, this is your answer to happy leaf springs. |

This is actually the first set of springs I've bent on the rear. I also ordered some boomerang style shackles for front and rear, I've heard they will help (a little) with the bending issue. |

Added their site to my favorites. I like that anti-wrap kit they sell. Nice and beefy. And for under 200 bucks you really can't beat it. Thanks for posting that up  |

Dave you're welcome to come measure Slinky's bars so you can get things triangulated right also you can see how to do the custom mounts instead of buying some kit.
