Hair pin 4x4 suspension

I have a 1980 4x4 that I would like to change it over to a hair pin with a pan hard bar. I would like to run long travel coil overs. Has any one seen or set up a hair pin suspension? How do they work on solid axle 4x4s F/R?

Re: Hair pin 4x4 suspension

4 link would work better, especially on the front. You would get less caster change with suspension travel that way.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
