I just got another F350 kit.

My last one i never did the lift and sping thing i just run a 4-link.(Mainly cause in 2006 no-one had good springs)and a few others had posted "how to's" for a link suspension.They now have the red springs that are "Super Soft" and the new one Delrin"Ultra Flex" which is new 2 me.

I guess I'm asking if it is worth the getting of the lift and springs (Delrin type) or just go with the link suspension?

I can get both types from Jun Fac for $69.00 for the lift and then springs for 39 or shocks for 45 so the cost isnt the issue the scale look is what im looking for.

I went the new 4 link kit on the wifes highlift. I also have a 4link kit sitting here waiting to be fitted to my tundra when it turns up. I love the look of coil overs.

I would stay away from the derlin leafs I've read else where they break after a while? From what I've read about the red ones from RC4wd they give more flex than the factory ones but other then that I don't know anymore then that.


Hope this helped.......Tom

Went with the Delrin model.
Have looked at some videos with them taking a beating.
I did the first run with mine installed and am really impressed(No longer feels like im wheeling a skateboard).I posted some pics on my album here of the travel they give (Would travel more but stock dampers top/bottom out).
I shot some video im going to place on Utube later crawlin around the back yard.

As far as breakage goes the metal springs that came with the truck have bent enough times there about to break.(Due to my fat arsed cat riding it around)and some people i crawled with in Asheville where i was living when i had my other truck have broke the red ones they had and have went to link type.So them not trying the Delrin type i had to give them a shot.
So Far-So Good.....Thanks for the thoughts though....Peace..:Tamiya1:
