[QUOTE="Lokey, post: 942987, member: 16662"] Clayton says that they have weld on coil buckets but that a 4 inch lift spring would net 5 inches of lift which leads me to belive that I might have some problems with clearance between components. TNT has weld on coil buckets also but I have not looked to far into there solution yet as I am not sold on there design. Coil overs would also work but I may have problems getting parts at some point if I am stuck in the boonies. If possible I want to find a way to run off the shelf components so that If I am in a jam I can borrow parts from someone else to get off out of the woods. Not to mention if you use commonly available parts you get a wider selection and in theory cheaper prices. While thinking about this again I also can not help but wonder if there would be binding in the front end if I use something like clayton when one wheel is stuffed and the other is extended. It seems like the hard arm design with the main joints welded to the bottom of the frame may have probelms with binding. Fo now I think that I am going to fix the leaf springs so that I can keep wheeling while I think about this. I would really not mind converting the front end over. I just want to make sure that I am not gonig to be taking it back off after wards becasue I am un happy with the results. That would cut into my wheeling time to much. [/QUOTE]
