No one does in the beginning. Eventually you will see the need
Very true, I might swap the rear leafs out and do a cantilever setup. I wanted to be able to toe with this truck but I don't see it doing much.
Starting to design a cantilever system right now for a guys explorer. Still in the thought process stages right now. He won't have the money to do it till next summer. Not as hard as they look
I'm just curious how to set the angles.
Is that supposed to say "coilover"? Between that and "toe" it took me awhile to figure out what you were talking about. I was thinking "huh, never seen or heard of a canitlever suspension" and I wonder why he's so concerned about "toe" in the rear as in I thought you meant steering alignment toe-in.
Makes 2 of us. Either I'm tired, or he's drunk replying.
I was at work, the toe was supposed to be "tow" 
. I'm looking to do a cantilever setup for the shocks. It doubles the stroke of the shock.
How it basically works.
What it can look like

U guys never heard of cantilever?
I was trying to figure out how he was going to cantilever the springs. I never read shocks in the post.
Figured the toe thing was flintstone power. It is missing its engine.

My fault, should have been more clear on my post.
Ben this guys burb has a sweet cantilever setup too. I would have done this on mine if I had seen this a week earlier lol. He's getting like 16" of travel out of 10"or 12" travel shocks.

That's like when you save up and buy something you've really wanted bad for a long time and get home and say to yourself how much you love it and then a week later it goes on sale for like half price.
Yeah, when I bought 10 Magpul Pmags, found them on sale 1 week later for $5 each less than I paid

Been there... My tags on the burb expired the day before I took it to back to maaco...
This is the 2nd time in 20 years the registration wasn't renewed. Both times were under my ownership. Last time I put about a tank a gas through it in 9 months and it rusted couldn't pass emissions and couldn't figure it out.
Got tired of it one day had it towed into work and told a guy to have fun and don't get me until it was driving. He came back said the tank was rusted. I slapped a fuel filter in it and drove it wide open all the way home. I literally had it to the floor most of the way was neutral dropping it at lights. The transmission was loosing gears so I said what ever...
This time around, it's pretty well self explanatory.
