I'm a fan of the Z32TT rear end and axles... It's going to take a lot of work to get an independent suspension. I know it's "different" but I don't really see enough benefits to make it worth it. Is there any particular reason?

ive been riding on blocks for a while now
it reduces shock travel making it a bouncy ride
the right way to drop it would to get the new leafs which is what im planning on doing very soon
