hi all,

Would a bighorn with coils in the rear flex more then a MU with leafs. Couse I my be buy a bighorn for parts so I might as well put them on. And would most stuff like CV fit on them 91 MU??

What do you think of this??

The Mu shares just about everything with the leaf sprung bighorn but the coils sprung one is different. The coils work very well but the diff tubes are longer so you cant just drop the diff and springs into the Mu The front A arms are longer giving more travel in the front as well but this also means that the front suspension and cvs are a no swap. I have looked at swaping the brakes out of a 3.1 bighorn to get the bigger disks and maor importantly a handbrake tat works ans cant see any reason why it wouldnt work but haven't actually tried.
You could always think in the other square and shift all your good bits into the bighorn
