Re: F-code modifications-another way.

I like it!

The only question I have come up with is spring wrap, the way the original variable rate leaf sits it helps prevent spring wrap.

On the other hand I have always wondered if the X was so heavy it was always into the variable rate anyway and not able to give the softer ride we want in the back.

Looks like a great set up for springs only rear end.

You can sure see the difference in the arch in your pictures this will also help in high rebound situations since the lower leaf will disengage and lessen the rebound effect. Not sure it this will happen in normal driving but it can't hurt.

Now the only question is if stock Fs with a sleave type air bag set up would be better. Guess I will have to build it and see.
