What is your reason for wanting a coil rear? What sort of link setup do you want? Radius arm? 3-link A-frame? 4 link? 3-link + panhard? Will the car be road driven? How much travel are you after? Will you be coiling the front? What sort of terrain do you drive on? What sort of fabrication/welding experience do you have?

Doing a coil conversion is a BIG job and alot of things need to be taken into consideration before you even think about going near the car with a grinder....

Take a look through the rigs section to give you some idea on what is involved in doing a coil conversion.

ok the car wont be driven on the road reson is i wont more flex i have spring ove in it now but its to high and unstable so lover and more flex is the aim i was thinking 4 link looks like a easyer and affective setup terain is large hills and lots of large rocks and rutts and i will do the front later on due to money resons welding and fab exp not alot traly i can weld ok get good penertration and strenth just looking at 33 for now but 37's later on and extend the wheel base abit. thanks for the help to i have been looking into it for a while.

just trawl the forums for a while to get a feel of what people are doing. i would seriously suggest a good 3 months of solid reading and researching.
checkout zukikrawlers.com and pirate.com and here obviously and research research research! its always better to read more than you have to than not enough.

What diffs are you going to run with 37's? What WB are you looking at on 33's?

Going through the linking system atm and i tell you its alot harder then you think.
Id start with alot of research first then a 4 link calculator before you even touch the car.

ok than if its that much effot in the mean time untill i get around to it is there a way to flatten my leafs out so my car dosnt sit so high?

[Joshyboy26]

take out a few leafs

[Red89]

Is it sprung over with lifted springs ? If so replace them with some stock leaves to lower it or remove extended shackles if it has them. If you start removing leaves you will be more susceptible to axle wrap.

Could get reverse rap mains made up that will lose a bit
Can u get the pack rest flat
How are the perches made
Can they be remade to sit lower

[KEENSY85]
