rear chevy springs

darth brian · 02-26-2006, 08:16 PM

my buddy has a 96 taco with total chaos in the front. he is searching for an idea for the rear. i told him about the chevy 63 swap im doing in my pickup. he does more prerunning than crawling or 4wheeling and he wants to know if the springs are too soft or how they will work with his setup/offroad flavor. would the 4x4 chevys be better for his setup or is this swap better for crawling and should he go with some different springs. funds are low as usual. thanks.

I think they are obviously the best "bang for the buck". They are extra long, which increases overall travel and would be good for pre-running too. I've never tried them, but i've heard they are real flexy and soft, but, nothing about "too soft"...

If I were him, Id do it
