[QUOTE="TreeClimber, post: 901891, member: 16101"] A well set up coil, or full leaf spring set will push down AND pull up. A 1/4 will only pull up with the one main leaf. So it pushes down with the whole pack, but only pulls up with the main. That's why they flex soooo good, because they can droooooop. This creates problems in some areas. I've NEVER ran this setup, so this is SPECULATION on my behalf. But I have watched Kevin (JPFREAK) roll lots of times, and until he tweaked his 1/4 with a heavier rear anti-sway (and limiting straps??) he was really rear floppy. Can't describe it better than that, but if the front end got light on one side, the inertia would raise the front, and because the rear was so light on the springs it would allow the rear of the same side to continue to raise up, to the rollover point. It was wierd how easy it happened. It's firmer now. Maybe he'll post up a better explaination... Tony [/QUOTE]
