    Default 3/4 elliptical AKA Buggy springs...

    So Im thinking once I install the front air shocks I will need a little more boost and a LOT more flex in the rear of the jeep...
    does anyone have ACTUAL experience with this kind of setup?
    heres the setup
    this jeep MIGHT go on the street about three times a year NEVER at highway speeds...
    i will have 37's on up to 40's
    and again ride quality onroad not a factor at all

    I haven't run them, but I know something about them. They can be tippy on side hills, just as revolver shackles can. This kind of set up is highly specialized and is more suitable for something with a lower center of gravity than an XJ

    dang I was also looking at the situation that the leafs arent in a line with the frame so I suppose this is out of the question anyhow
