Go the hardtop  I wasn't being sarcastic I am really interested in your kits I was merely pointing out that I tried Old Std's and they were S@$T so I tried the lifted ones and it leveled it up good as. David You've got me wrong Dave. I was being serious  I really like the hard tops As for the springs, unfortunately there are infinate combinations of springs, but I can only pic one to base this kit around. At this point in time the kit has not been tested, so it may work out that it requires 2" lifted rears to get the desired result. We will have to wait and see. Cheers Pete
I would like to find a good spring setup for the rear, I like the flex in the front but the rear is the pits.
PS cheers for the comment on Hartops.
David

Luke, we have thrashed this out so many times on this site, there is no such thing as a half rear up front, it is a stupid term usually used by uninformed people. In the end there are a lot of different ways that this can be done, the worst of these being with the use of extended shackles. I can argue this with you because I have done dozen of these and have tried most of the methods of doing the conversion, each has its pro's and con's, but none can be termed "a half ruf"

Could a half RUF be when you only use 1 rear up front, leave the other standard. hehe

yeah, thats the ideal set up when speedway racing... depending if your in OZ or the US you just swap the leaf over for the different direction.
