Ok so like the title says, wide track leafy diff into a 97 coily......


Who's done this and knows exactly what is involved/what I need????

Want to run flipped radius arms and separate coils/shocks

Speak to Rusho or look at his build thread

What are you hoping to achieve by doing this??

There is a massive amount of work that goes into it. We used jimny upper shock/spring mounts that were modified to accept a longer shock. Bottom spring mounts were off a vit. Just about every mount was custom made to suit, steering arms were made as the coily ones cannot be used(standard WT ones can be used) panhard arm made, diff housing shaved to within mm's of hitting the crown wheel.....the list goes on I'm afraid.

IMHO I think it is almost a waste of time putting radius arms back in, they limit the articulation that is available. A conventional 3 link & panhard was used in the front of mine.

Im sure there is other things I have over looked. Think it through properly...it isn't an easy job :wink:

Agreed.

Radius arms, lower coil bucket, panhard mount and steering arms will all be fighting for the same real estate..... There just isn't enough room for flipped radius arms.

Not to mention you have an opportunity to engineer out the secont biggest floor with the coily. ( radius arms )

Pretty cramped!!

Well basically, chasing more flex, option of chromos and an air locker down the track also

If you want more flex, ditch the weak radius arms.
