Spring-Over VS Spring-Under For Your Build? Pros & Cons!

Today we’re talking spring over vs spring under rear suspension for your build! This video shows a 1979 Bronco, however the concepts discussed apply to all off-road vehicles (especially prerunners).

Excellent explanation. Pretty much what I assumed they were for but it’s nice to get some confirmation from someone who knows what they’re talking about.

[@Bent_Bronco]

Knows what they’re talking about is generous 😂 but thank you man! Glad it helped!

[@JamesMoVlogs]

good stuff man can't wait for my sprung under bronco to get back from the shop

[@Bent_Bronco]

Hell yeah man!

[@bjlanders]

good video, I enjoyed! Have an old Nissan, and thinking of flipping from under to over for simply more body lift / clearance. So, cosmetics!

I will never do a spring over again on my Sammy after ten years of hard use! Spring under body lift and cut out wheelarches is the way to go for big tires.

Got a 5 lug taco with a sua suspension and this just gave me more confidence on it lol

[@Bent_Bronco]

That’s awesome, Keep’er pinned! 😂

And what is the shackle angle of a tension shackle? I have a K5 Blazer 64 spring swap and both the front and rear axles are spring under.

Thank you!

Good explanation. With Long Travel / Spring-Under setups, do you find the need to run traction bars to eliminate the wrap?

[@Bent_Bronco]

It depends on vehicle weight/horsepower/tire size etc. but it’s certainly common to find them on spring under builds. Spring under helps, but big HP can still twist springs up. I’ll be running a traction bar on my build, but it’s ~700HP on 39’s and a pig 😂

Leaf under is the way to go

[@PDK7777]

Can u still bomb the whoops in leafs under vs linked? I know links are better but by how much?

[@Bent_Bronco]

You can definitely bomb whoops with leafs, mostly comes down to the quality of the shock tuning
