New frame already setup with rear buggy spring
 
Picked up a new frame for the pickup last week. The original frame has been eaten away and is not trail worthy.
The frame I bought is already setup for a Hy-steer and rear buggy springs. The original hanger has been cut away (no big deal).
My original intention was to run AOR4x4 (Alcan) Orbit-Eyes in the rear. If I do that with the buggy spring, I'll probably suffer from too much body roll and be more likely to flop my rig.

If you were in my shoes, would you remove the buggy spring and continue with my original plan or keep the spring and use non-Orbit-eye springs instead?

If you go 3/4 elip (buggy) you'll need a traction bar.

ditch the rear buggy. it will only cause you problems.

stick with your original plan, and enjoy all the useable flex you will ever need.

I would go with 4 leaf springs, one at each corner.

It is solid, reliable and straightforward.

Also might look at the 3 link rear kit. Should work good with a solid axle up front and the flat bed. Might give too much lift though if you are thinking about staying small.

You going to Yotayard in the near future?
