Re: Dirt every day

The first rock crawler that actually won the first event in Farmington NM was the infamous
PINKIE...built by my buddy Shannon Campbell..it was leaf spring frt and 4 link rear and it worked great..
The shorter the driveshaft, be it front or rear creates more torque and causes
Severe axle wrap..and the rear is always shorter in Jeep applications...I had a midshaft bearing on a CJ8 front to clear the transmission pan and it caused the
Front axle to wrap like hell... lesson learned I guess.
Any way leaf springs can flex great especially when using a negative arch in front.
