Hi All

Having changed my mind to what my series is going to be used for its now going to be my plaything and off road toy laning toy etc

Im not looking for super comfort off road hell im there for the smile factor and the challenge so comfort is low on the list of requirements, at the moment I have 1 ton rear shackles that are the extended ones, 1 ton rear springs and 1 ton standard shocks.

The chassis is bare apart from the engine and rear trans so access is fantastic and the axel is only half bolted in so at the moment a good time to change what I need to.

What would you guys out in cyberland recomend as an optimal setup for a series to be used off road on the rough stuff and also laneing

Im not that clued up on leaf springs so any help will be gratefully recieved

go for parabolic springs as there alot softer (not quite coil sprung soft but getting there) the standard leaf springs have no give in them at all.
and knobbley tyres. i think thats your basic set up.

Hi Mark

I was thinking parabolics and have fitted a set before and I know a few people who use them and say yeah nice and soft but they use landys mainly on roads so wanted a 2nd opion

Yup knobblys it is mate got a set of BFG Tracedge here that I got for £10 a corner as I have 6 rims and 6 different tyres here so got them to get me going.

What would you recomend for tires anything over another I am think all terrains and to be honest the difference in fule is not a major issues just want something that will do the job oh and look good lol

If you go for extended shocks with parabolics make sure the brake flexi hoses are long enough - I've put 18inch stainless steal on mine :wink:
