If you left click on the pic icon, go to properties, copy the url (http://www.geocities.com/jp008/Dcp_0013.jpg), then open another window, paste into address line, hit return, you'll get the picture.

It's that straight axle conversion on the off-green trackick done at Sky's Extremem Offroad in Utah. Here is the link to the site for info: http://www.geocities.com/jp008/brettskick.html

I'm supprised that they went with leaf springs instead of coils.  Of course it would be cheeper with a donation vehicle like that.

Why were you surprised? you can get a leaf spring setup to flex quite well. I dont know mutch about making a coil one. are worth they money if you were gonna build one as apposed to the leaf spring?

Coils are supost to be the best set up between the two.  And starting with a coiled vehicle, it's like going from a solid axil to IFS.

Though I have a friend with a YJ that has a spring over and it flexes really nice with his new set of springs.

Do you know anymore about this build up? I would like to know how he likes the OTT kicker kit. I am kinda thinking about someday doing a build up kindalike his, so it owuld be cool to pick his brain on how he like or what he would do different. Thanks for the photos ;D

Nope, have now idea who he is.  I'm wondering how he set up the steering and how he likes it.  I wanna do something similar with some D44 axles but am stumped on some steering problems.

i got his email adress off the website that was posted earlier. I was thinking of emailing him. What about doing some kinda crossover steering system like they have for the Sami. Just a thought I dont know awhole lot about steering. But I would like to know the details of his setup, I am thinking yota axels because they are a little cheaper. What size tires are you thinking of running with the D44? are you thinking about a coil or leaf spring setup?

I want coils however Chris from C|removethispart|@R motorsports here in Placerville, Ca convinced me to use leaf springs.  The main reason being cost.  The cost of building then testing then rebuilding then testing a 3 or 4 link suspension is huge in money and time.  Plus I plan on driving my Kick daily and I don't want my 1st attempt at a coil suspension be on a car I will be driving on the highway.  Leafs are more predictable on the road plus my younger brother and I put toyota axles and jeep springs on his sammi this past summer and am comfortable with building a similar system on my sidekick, with d44's of corse.  As for tires I want something big but not to make my car top heavy I guss a good 36. 8)
