You have leaf springs, why put this on when the leaf springs do the same job? Isn't the Watts system designed for coil springs since they shift and allow the body to roll where as leaf springs dont??? just curious.. ty

Look at this watt’s linkage version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpm7Z4GjoNKJj9E Roll center height can easily be changed putting center propeller pivot up or down.

I have a 2014 F150 I want to do this on, I have a 9.75 diff in my Tremor and I'm planning on replacing the leaf springs with a 3 link setup. Please let me know if you have any of these left or can make one. :) Picture of the truck here - photos.app.goo.gl/FYczXt6ksRQv3cyKA I want to make this truck into a handling machine.

does a watts link really help all that much on a leaf sprung truck. i mean the leafs are supposed to already be doing that job if designed properly. maybe ford didn't make the leafs wide enough to stop the axle from wondering side to side.

@Deesrickchevrolet 7 жыл бұрын

looks like the left tube is bent and flexing, I inverted mine, meaning my bell crank is mounted on the frame with the tubes perfectly running parallel at ride height. I built my bell crank frame so I could adjust it at the frame to match the roll center of the Mustang ll IFS. My tubes are about 14" long....= stronger.

I've always wondered, couldn't you just oil the leaf springs to make them stop creaking?

@descargaelbano 7 жыл бұрын

Oiling a leaf spring is one of the worst things you can do. Conventional straight leaf springs rely in friction between the leaves to supply damping action like a shock absorber. The more leaves, the less you need shock absorbers. If you oil the springs the damping action goes away and the springs will travel much further up and down over bumps, usually causing one or more leaves in the pack to break near the spring perch. This is common on trucks with power steering fluid leaking on the leaf springs. Newer tapered leaf springs only touch in the middle and ends so they rely heavily on the shock absorber for damping. If the shocks get weak then the tapered leaves break.

I would have liked to see what the linkage would perform like over uneven, smooth but undulating, road surfaces. That would show what it would do in turns, also. Looks like a good, and clean, install, though.

leaf springs with caltrac traction bars

are those leaf springs I see on the sides? But it also looks like 4 link brackets on the axle. I'm confused lol :)

@Cornergrip 8 жыл бұрын

+B450R they are Saleen Leaf Springs with caltrac traction bars. Install was a huge PAIN, but worth it. I have run those traction bars on this truck and a 1966 mustang. Ultimately, I wanted to build a 4 link setup, but I just didn't have the time. This was one of my best creations. The truck handled like a sports car. I only sold 3 setups like this to 3, very lucky, owners. They all loved them.

The metallic sound is the traction bars engaging and disengaging. We built three of these and decided they were not cost effective. We ran one at the tail of the dragon and the truck couldnt be touched.

@Jinppa 12 жыл бұрын

Seeing how stable the distance between your car chassis and road stays, I'm quite sure your car doesn't have super tight suspension - and I didn't see any body roll. So are you trying to prove that thing works, if you only drive very smooth and straight roads? Cool video, but doesn't really give enough information, if that really works so well.
