Eliptical Leaf Setup

[WAD357]

My buddy just picked a late 80's ranger thats got a 44 and a 9" under it. Front still runs radius arms and rear has an eliptical leaf setup with revolver shackles. My question is if this is streetable or not? He plans to drive it around town but not as a daily..

1/4 ellipticals are just 4 or 3 link suspension instead of a coil spring they use a leaf spring works good for packaging. It needs a shackle or something to allow for the leaf to change lengths as it moves in an arc.
The revolver will just let the suspension drop just like a coil coming out of it's bucket.

You should be fine to drive it on the road with 1/4 elliptical granted suspension geometry is solid.

This is how the setup he has is... and dana hes got no drivetrain in it yet but I was just curious as to if it was streetable...

Some pics of it kinda shitty but gives the idea

As long as those shocks actually do something and arent just there for looks, I cant imagine it would handle badly on road. he wont know till he tries tho haha

I kinda thought it looked sketchy too however I had never seen an eliptical leaf setup before so I had no clue what I was looking at and still really dont lol. Idk supposedly the truck had some articles done on it or something however Im starting to not believe it... Im gunna jump on the ranger station and try to find the build pics.
