I was inspired by another 4runner with 3/4 elliptical springs.
I did a small amount of research on them and it seems that really experienced people who are about to run 4 links and wheel like pros say that the 3/4 sucks, and the dd/wheelers say that they are a good way to gain flex.

Anybody here in YotaTech land ever try them or have an opinion on them?

I thought 3/4 elliptical setups where prone to some bad wheel hop.

I knew this was coming!!!! I thought that buggy had a coolant leak, it was just chris drooling over springs!

what did you think about those buggy springs some of the trucks were running? 2 spring packs, one inverted over the other?

That is what I have learned to be 3/4 elliptical springs. I never got a good shot of his springs*doh* but here is the concept on another truck.








...coolant leak... ha!

I personally dont like them at all. The problem is that they come with downfalls. Like wheelhop, axlewrap, rapid unloading on sidehills. They will make you look cool on a ramp and at the mall, but lockers and gearing will make you look cooler on the trail.
