starting to build my project, but do not want to waste my time as i rolled my 85 narrow track sierra. i want to build my narrow track chassis up with wide track diffs with narrow track diff centers and a 1L transfer case
or would it be better to buy a coil spring chassis and put my hard top body on it?

no way! keep the NT chassis and put the coily body on it (if you prefer how they look) with WT leafy diffs... but you'll have to move the spring perches inwards on the WT diffs - this will effectively inboard your springs, giving you heaps more flex.

so if move the spring perches inwards on the WT diffs - this will give me flex.

They are not better! leafys are much better easier to mod more aftermarket support as has been said use n/t chassis with wide track diffs this gives better flex as n/t spring spacing is about 40-50mm narrower than w/t

none :lol: They may give a better ride in stock form but you can get a leafy to be just as comfortable. A coil chassis aint worth 800 dollars imo stick with what you have and build from it. You will end up with a much more capable rig at a cheaper price and spare parts a much easier to find.
