Not really a Suzuki question, but a tech question none the less.

Ok, when you set up leaf springs, are there any sort of proportions that you need to get things set to? Like is there a maximum shackle length per length of the spring?

Also, on the subject of leaf springs, what are the best springs for a 2dr Sidekick SAS? CJ, Wagoneer, YJ? Would Samurai lift springs work, or would I be better off getting some heep springs>

I'm talking leaves, here. I've already got 'cruiser axles ;D

Speaking of Fords, TTB definately isn't something I'd swap in anyway. If I ran Fords, that'd be getting swapped out.
