I've never seen so much flex from something that isn't chopped to shreds. When I first saw the thumb of the pic, I thought it was a carnage shot of broken front suspension :oops: The owner of that truck is just that awesome.

It appears to be a leaf sprung front end with only one or two leafs. I have looked into this type of a setup for my Mitsubishi Pickup but it just doesn't ride that well on pavement. As far as the shot goes I think that is some really impressive flex.

You get lots of droop when your shackles are a foot long :shock:

Might be two half eliptical and you just can't see the other leaf... can't be for sure with the darkness of the pics in the suspension area

all that is fine and good but when he binds it up on some real rough terain and rips the springs off the mount cause of the stupid long shackles on it
it will be heck to fix

I read an artical about doing mods that gained something but gave up durability
That is almost a picture of what they were talking about
