I looked into that a while ago, some people thought it would be hard to get stiff enough springs to hold up the weight of a k5, but people have done it with success. Here are some links I dug up real quick, it used to be a popular topic around here

Here's what I'm think'in. I want to move to the next step with my blazer mainly the rear half. I have always loved the 1/4 elliptical setup. I like the truggy look to. I just don't know. I don't have alot of money to spend (who does) on this thing, but I am willing

The 4 link part of a 1/4 elliptic is not cheap. If you go cheap you will be replacing it all in short order (replacing joints at least once a year, bent links, etc.).
I think mine will be on the order of ~$1K with brackets, truss, spring clamps, shackles, boxing the frame around the suspension mounts, tubing for links, 8 joints, bumpstops, etc.
The only thing cheap about 1/4 elliptic is the springs. I like the fact that the springs are cheap and easy to tune which is why I'm going to a 1/4 elliptic.
Subscribing, as I would like to do this some day
