@TREA18 its not bad in the sense it will not work, it will just not optimal. The main issue is the main leaf is completely unsupported and will bend under torque, if the pack is at least touching itself it will have less of a chance because it’s supported by the other leaves.
The other problem is there is no spring pushing back at this far droop, that does nothing for the truck, no reseistance aside maybe a little shock damping and weight of the wheel and axle.. you need spring rate to keep the tires on the ground and hooked up, you need it to resist the motion, shock alone isn’t enough.. unless you have some huge 4.4 inch shock..
To make this stuff work you need a relatively smooth resistance curve, combined shock and spring and having a spike in the curve somewhere can make the truck unstable.. when the wheel is moving with no rate but has shock you’ll get this weird spike once the spring comes into play, it’ll be like this, nothing nothing nothing and then spikes 200in lb and ramps up from there.
Vs a coilover or properly setup leaf you get 100in lb or more just from the preload. You can run it at zero preload but the second that shock moves it has some spring rate, there is no dead zone.. dead zones can have weird oscillations etc.. sorry that’s the complex explanation.. but this boils down to what you are going to use the truck for?? If it’s just jumping or cruising around where either the truck is going somewhat slow or flying it doesn’t have much of an effect, it’s when you start to cycle it very quickly like whoops or large chop is when it becomes a problem. You are relying on it to react predictably and it doesn’t and that results in a crash possibly.
