Falcon Springs

Post by ToySurf »

I know someone who is selling some XY ute leaf springs. But he says they are heavy duty. Would these heavy duty springs limit flex if i put them in the back of my Surf? Cause aren't heavy duty springs used for heavy loads?

Thanks

you can pull a spring. Heavy duty usualy means they are load carrying so yes very harsh riding

Not yet, I've got the motor mounted on the solid axle chassis. I've just been doing the the suspension up. I've put Falcon leaf springs in the rear. And 50mm lifted springs at the front with all long travel shocks. I plan on wiring it up this weekend to see if i can get it to run.

Thanks
