leaf spring conversion

[Crawl-N-Clod]

Thinking of doing 72 bronco and want to do a rear leaf spring conversion on it. I noticed GCM has a kit for it but its currently out of stock, i sent them an email and they said its not top priority on the list so no idea when they will be in stock. Any ideas or any other kits for a leaf spring conversion??

Here are mine. I really don’t like the looks of the gcm kit wouldn’t pay that much for it.

I asked the same question about the front motor conversion, and got the same answer. I suspect that the Ascender parts are somewhat low volume, and doubt we'll see many of them again.

What I did was used the GCM TMX axle housing. The rear you can just swap the parts from your ascender axles to the TMX housing. The front you can do the same besides you will need 2 5x11x4mm bearings and because of the off set diff, you need the TMX axle shafts. I then used generic tf2 springs off Amazon and configured where to mount them for my wheel base.

Edit: I forgot that to use the stock hex you have to use the stock axle stubs. They fit perfectly on the GCM axles.
