Thanks for the pics Drone. After browsing thru the galleries, you have successfully made me envy the west coast wheeling even more.....I did find some pics of interest, but hard to ultimately tell.
That last one in particular you can see the spring fairly decent, it might have a
very slight arch and twist. I think you probably don't hit this type angle often, and it definitely isn't anywhere near as twisty as my extreme case picture.....but I wander if you lifted one of your front tires super extreme...
I know recently I have watched some leaf springs in action, and browsed numerous pictures, and you think to yourself....that ain't right. But what we do with our rigs sometimes probably isn't right either....I agree with Skyhiranger, at a certain point you will break it, which is probably the point I'm at....idk.
I do plan to install bumpstops...You think that will solve the "twisting" action of the leaf? Will the axle pivot on the bumpstop?
I have a feeling the twisting will break the the spring faster, due to the binding nature. I toyed with some type twisting/rotating shackle, or johnny joint spring hanger.....I can't seem to find a company that make a joint that fits into the samurai spring eye itself. If someone knows one, I would be very interested.
