4 Link Or Not To Link ???

[Anttoys4x4]

Gettin ready to build up my Hilux, have all original parts for it ie: leafsprings, steering etc, but im not sure weather to go with a 4 link and coil springs, or use the leafspring suspension. I want to crawl with it, but also want to make it look scale looking. I know that the leaf springs give it the best scale look, but how is articulation compared to a 4 link??? any ideas/suggestions, or pics of either/or would be appreciated.
thanks

I 4-linked mine, and it does really have way better articulation. I should not care about the leafs, it is such an improvement.

you can do a ''chino'' mod to the leafs, or even buggy leaf the truck
contact 1badjeepbruiser on this board, he can show you pics of each

what is the "chino mod" any pictures? i need info on attaching links to the axles? i have seen the plates from rc4wd, but there has to be an alternative.

leave the leafs... maybe put in jugg leafs with a leaf removed, and chino mod them

much better looking that 4 link and nearly as flexible

if you dont care about stock then go 4-link. rc4wd has all the cool stuff, and some looks stock.:yourock:
