Thinking of doing this...

A guy in my club bent a 3" spring dueto axle wrap, he got a new one under warranty and is giving this old one away for free. I am thinking of designing a 1/4 elliptical spring setup for the rear. what can I expect from this as in road manner, should act the same as a revolver shackle, but on road, will it cause a mess load of body roll when turning?
If I do thins, should I think about making a TJ rear sway bar work with quick disconnects?

Anybody know someone running this mod??
 

I do know that it greatly increases roll in the rear of the vehicle. I was going to do it at one time, but decided against it. You can design some plates that will keep the spring from moving side to side.
 
RE: Fuel system...

it is going to be a VERY soft... but VERY bouncy ride... you'll want to have a tracbar too
 
i saw a write up on a rear sway bar on pirate for a 1/4 eliptical, you might want to check there, this guys rig flexed something crazy and still handled on street, it was similar to the currie sway bar
