Notice how the front doesnt budge!
its basically a cab truck, i kinda like it. front prolly isnt flexing yet cuz the rear is so much softer than the front

The rear is a 1/4 elliptic and the front looks like some pretty tall lift springs. That's what I would attribute it to.

I like it. I cant tell if its a D44 up front though. At least its a 14ff rear. I think its a badass looking rig though. Although ive heard bad things about 1/4 eliptic in a truck that heavy.

its different and thats what this is all about... then again, i dont like the idea of ubolts for leaf springs...

There's nothing wrong with a well setup 1/4 elliptic.
As for the truck, its getting pretty close to a truggy. It doesn't have a cage, and the front taper job doesn't look too good IMO, but most of the body is out of the way of damage.
Some people want their rig to look stock, some want the "tough" look with their K5 lifted with big tires, and still others (myself included) put performance over looks. If that means removing/modifying the body, so be it.
That's not to say that looks should be completely disregarded but if you feel sorry for that Blazer you should avoid any spring pictures of mine
I hope hes got some good design in taht 1/4 eliptical....i too have heard bad things about it in a heavy truck

I like it--it's differerent than anything I have seen. i looks to have a lot of rear steer (which is typical in 1/4) and if I were to guess its a 44 front---looks too small in the second pic.

I like it but I would have left enough room for a 4 seater with cage and used coilovers vice 1/4 eliptical. He needs to link the front and run some tube then it would be pimp. Can't tell what the front is though

man that thing is nasty lookin with the chopped up bed on it like that.
Well even though there's always plenty standing in line to criticize, it looks like its a project vehicle to him, I'd say he's probably setting it up the way he wants, not the way you want. If it doesn't work out, he'll probably change some things to make it work. Like most rigs out there its probably still a work in progress. Give the guy a little credit. After all he doesn't have the expertise of CK-5 to fall on.

looks like a dana 44 front with hydro assist in the front, would something missing so much sheetmetal like this still be considered heavy??
