buggy springs?
Has anyone ever tried to buggy spring thier ride? I have a '71 wagoneer and with the lack of lift options I'm considering a buggy spring conversion...anyone have any ideas about this? I did this type of setup on my CJ7 and loved it, great flex and smooth ride.

You're meaning a linked suspension? If you're skilled enough to build links, why not just fab up some new spring hangers and go spring over?
Mucho cheapero

I got to agree with Bama.
If you have those sort of skills (no way I do) nothing about that older suspension should stand in you way.

Thats what i'm thinking, no links...I think a 3/4 eleptical suspension would be trick too but would involve WAY more work.
What do you think? |

There's been discussion around here of ellipticals but not sure if anybody has ever done it. There's some question about it holding up to the weight of an FSJ

hmmm, I haven't considered the weight...I don't really see why it wouldn't though. i may try this and let everyone know. at the very least I planned on fitting some longer cheby springs on it and getting rid of the post mount stuff.
