[Spridgets] Leaf springs

[Guy R Day]

One of the problems if you have a larger diameter tyre is you need to raise 
the body which means you raise the centre of mass, tilt the front suspension 
angles forwards at the top, have to get a longer ebrake (handbrake) cable 
and can have problems with the rear damper set-up.  Of course it depends how 
much you raise the body.   Or, you can flare your wings and elongate the 
inner wing.  As a last resort you could always fit longer swinging shackles 
at the rear of the springs.
Yer pays yer money and takes yer choice.... usually pays yer money! <sigh>
