Yea, those are "coil-overs" , I know exactly what your talking about!!
are yours adjustable? like the Koni brand?? They'll be stiff alright!! hee
hee, but thats good for racing! Thats another good idea that I kinda forgot
about!
Only thing about coil overs are they tend to lift the ass end up in the air
if they are non adjustable.
Tim, what kind of rear shocks are ya using?? stock??
thanks

My friend gave me some coil springs that go over the rear axle and to the
frame, I think they are for heay loads... like $20-30 at advance auto....
Even tho my truck was runnin slower, I had NO traction probs what so
ever.... Not once did I spin them off the line... I took them right off
his Ranger, and put them on mine, they are somewhat compressed all the time,
but I think it made a difference... and the ride is frickin ruff as heck =-)
These and the Traction bars may be the key... E-mail me off list and I'll
try and get some pics to ya...
