Mon, 10 May 2004 03:28 I've been researching this as well, but really need to speak to an engineer on the subject. As far as body modification is concerned, there will be a need to locate a strut tower in the rear floor pan (and probably bracing in the cross direction as well to the chassis) As for the Chassis the standard leaf springs push the force from the diff housing directly to the chassis rails. any modifications need to do the same (As well as satisfy suspension Geometry) My ideas would be to find a doner vehicle of simialar size and use that as a base. as the geometry would be basically there already. you would just need to match that geometry (or improve it) to your vehicle. Suspension Geometry and how it affects the cars handling is currently where I fall in a hole. And needs to be researched by myself before I decide to modify my suspension. From what I have discovered the conversion may be relatively simple (if you can weld) but very easy to Stuff up if the geometry is off. You probably already know this but I'm interested in any other findings as well... [Report message to a moderator]
