That something, is the Direct Connection Leaf Link! I am in the process of putting a Dana 60 in the Aspen that I bought from Andre over in Michigan (68shifter) which is a great looking piece, and it was a great price. Good guy to deal with! Anyway, we have yanked the old stock 8-3/4 with 3.23 gears out this past Saturday. This week I will finalize the brackets, and with any luck, get them water jet cut at work. After attending one of Dave Morgan's Seminars www.davemorganseminars.com I think I will change the leaf link design slightly. It's hard to explain with out pictures, but I will be moving the bottom mount for the diff above the leaf spring, instead of below the spring like the original design. I will be contacting Dave once I have everything drawn up to see what he thinks. When I talked to him about it at the seminar, he thought the leaf link was a great idea that just didn't get enough use. The four links came and that was the end of that. Why am I doing this instead of Cal Tracs? I would like to try something different, and I think the leaf link is a neat part of the Mopar history. There is nothing wrong with Cal Tracs, their success speaks for themselves. There is also some class races around here that would knock me up a class if I put a ladder bar or 4 link in the car. I think I will be able to claim stock suspension with the leaf link. It is still using the factory suspension, just in a different way. So, I will try to get pictures along the way, and let you guys know weather it works or not! I think there is a few guys out there using it with success. What do you guys think?? -Kenny

Do you know of a URL or drawing that would help me remember what a "leaf link" suspension is?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Jegs or Summit sold the kit? Or are you looking at making something different?

Well since I haven't seen a direct connection catalog since the late 70's or early 80's if you can scan a pic it would be helpful. My opinion on most of the old tricks is they are phased out for a reason, if they really worked, people would still be using them. But it never hurts to try to start with an old idea and make it better.
Yeah, I can see what you mean, some of the classes that I like to run locally will bump me up for a ladder bar or four link. So, Cal Tracs are what most will run. The theory behind the leaf link, will give more adjustment than caltracs, and allow me to move the instant center into a better position. I think the leaf link was phased out more because of the rules changing, than weather or not it worked. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean it will work. I am a willing test subject though

Hmm, interesting. I would like to see pics of it, not because I want to do it but I like different.

I agree,Kenny!...dare to be DIFFERENT! Best of luck with your "experiment"! BTW..have you had time to work on the valley plate for the RPM's??? Maybe my price range made you re-think the idea!???
Haven't been able to touch it yet, those super stock seat brackets kept me pretty busy when I wasn't at work. I can move on to the valley plate soon, I have to anil down these Leaf Link brackets first since my car is sitting on someone else's hoist with no rear end currently
I have your custom Gold Leaf Plymouth decals collecting dust. LOL. We need to hammer out the other decals you want and ship em out too. Thanks buddy!

For a little back story, The last passes I made with the car was using bone stock suspension basically. factory original shocks, factory Aspen springs using a stiff over load spring clamped to the front segment of the spring. The car had the 3.23 gears, and the tire was a 27 x 10.5 ET Street. This netted a 1.55 sixty foot, and a 10.68 @ 128mph. The car isn't picking the wheels currently. The changes being made: Leaf Link Dana 60 with 4.10's MT ET Drag 9 x 29.5 QA1 A-Body Stocker "R" front single adjustibles QA1 Proma Star custom mount rear shocks (a coil over shock with out a coil) I am already using a set of Afco sliders in place of the factory shackles. Here is the best launch photo with the old set up. It usually ran a 1.59-1.60 with one 1.55. -Kenny

OK, so if I understanding this correctly the horizontal bolt though the leaf spring bracket goes through the lower brackets welded to the axle housing. The upper bars connect to some other bracket on the chassis(floor). Your mod is to move the leaf spring bracket to the top of the spring instead of the bottom. (for lower ride height?) The thing that would concern me is how much the pinion angle will change due to non-equal arcs. The other concern is how strong the new axle brackets are but I'm sure some of those concerns could be mitigated with bracket design. Will be interesting to see how it works for you.
You pretty much have the idea. The change I am making with the lower diff mount will affect ride hieght, but this isn't why I am doing it. Moving this mounting point up above the spring, will change where the bottom "bar" points to. With the mount below the leaf, this angles the bottom "bar" in an upward direction too much. It would probably put my instant center somewhere about the middle or lower part of my back when I am sitting in the car. Moving this point above the spring will put my instant center in a more conventional 4 link spot, somewhere around the back of the engine. Also, I think this position will act on the leaf spring similar how the perch acts on the leaf spring, being in a similar spot to where a perch would be. It shouldn't kill the spring as quickly. In the old design, that bottom mount is further away from the leaf. Being farther away from the leaf will tend to want to bend the leaf more. Of course, this is still all a theory. Regardless, if it works, or if it puts me in the wall, it will be caught on video!
I have not been able to post up any pictures yet, as I was quite busy last night. I will see what I can do today.

There were two inherent "problems" with the original leaf link. First clamping the spring solid to the pivot created a bind, you could ease that by having the spring slide in the pivot. Second issue was even with ss prings it would kill the spring at the front eye very quickly. Calvert addresses this with their monos being much thicker than even the old made in Canada ss springs. Despite these correctable shortcomings they did work but were shelved when Jenkins tilted the playing field when he debuted his Vega
I don't think this is why Calvert has done a thick mono leaf. If you put a true leaf spring car on a four corner scale, then drive it around the block, and put it back on the scales, your readings will be different. Leafs bind on each other. The mono leaf is a more constant spring. When the Caltracs are under load, those monos are in tension. In the leaf link, the leaf is unfortunately in compression.

So basically the leaf spring becomes the lower bar of a four link. That is going to be in compression then as stated earlier. I can see where that would cause a lot of stress on the spring.

I was able to get some more measurements off the car for the final rear pieces to get cut and bent up. I had a chromoly cross member bent up to mount off of for the top links to hook to. After measure up on the rear end of the car we started hacking and chopping the front of car up to fit the front QA1's. The stock shocks in an FJM Body are too short for shock companies to build a truely adjustable front shock. There isn't enough room to put the valving in the shock body. I will have to get some pictures next time I'm out there. ThIngs are getting tight in the back end haha! It should look about right though in my opinion when it's sitting on the ground. -Kenny

First: more power to you, and anyone else who tries to improvise.
My knowledge of suspension tuning is very slight. What I can offer is a prediction of how sanctioning bodies deal with innovation.
1. if you mail them a diagram and explanation and ask for a ruling, they will not give you legal status in writing 2. personal and phone conversations never took place, didn't go the way you said etc. 3. the tech line is only concerned with safety rules - not legality 4. being permitted to race doesn't mean that they agree that you're legal 5. nothing will happen until you beat someone important/influential - you know, the guys married to Force's cousin, blah 6. when protested you fail
The reason given may take various forms as to language, beginning by simply stating the "it's not in the rules" (actual non-compliance). Your objection that it's not prohibited will be met with "it violates the spirit of the rule" (translation: we don't like you). The underlying reason is simple: you beat someone more important than you. IMHO it's not legal, in that you're not using the suspension in a different way. It would fail an objection based on patentable engineering features (not enough commonality with OEM). There are 2 main points of difference: 1. the original leaf was both the entire suspension and the locator for the axle, now it's not 2. a new part has assumed some of the original function, which is not stock

I am betting it will work great if two areas are addressed? Strength of the front half of the lower leaf. Stiffening it with another leaf that goes all the way to the spring eye may do the trick, but never tried it. The other thing on my mind is freedom of spring rate. If the shackles are too short or at the wrong angles, things get goofy. I am betting if these items are addressed, along with instant center being adjustable it should work like a four link.

Polyspheric, I get where your coming from, and if they do come down on me saying its not stock suspension, I won't be bummed out too much. The leaf spring is still my axle locator. I've just added a pivot point. Your second point, a new part has assumed part of original function..... That is true. Like caltracs, or "anti-hop" mounts for a GM G-body, or slapper bars even. The organizers of the few events that could have an issue with it, know what I am doing. Their usual response is "Oh, cool, it's like Caltracs, just not under the axle." I say, "Yeah, sure if you want to look at it like that." What you are saying about someone more important than me is probably spot on though haha. It isn't an issue until it is an advantage. Gregsdart, I'm not changing my leafs at all. I was going to try and find a way to do what your saying, but I came up with something else. Hard to explain in words, so when I move on to that part, I will be posting pictures up and it will make more sense. Thanks Randy, hopefully the "outside the box" thinking works. If not I Am wasting my money! -Kenny

Thanks guys, glad to hear other people like like what I'm doing I currently have my leaf spring sliders mounted flat against the frame of the car. I want to be able to run a lower hole in the bottom diff mount and right now it has to be in the highest hole. So I am going to space my leaf spring slider up to raise the car back up a bit. As for the mono leaf, yeah it wouldnt hurt. -Kenny

Well, it's been hard findning time to work on the car, but we are getting closer and closer. Hoping to run the car June 8-9 at a local street car heads up, P2P, but my pass track record isn't that great I usually don't have my car together. The rear is pretty much done now though. I need to do brake lines and space my leaf spring sliders up off the frame. Here are some progress pictures. The bars are threaded, and complete. Probably the worlds shortest top link bar haha. Will it work? Who knows! But I plan to find out! -Kenny

Thanks for sharing pictures! How long of a top bar were you able to sneak in there? I know mine are short, but looking at the fox body stuff, they don't seem so bad, and mine are straight in the car. The triangulation of the fox body stuff shortens the length of the bar parallel to the chassis. I'm not sure what the fox body upper bar length is yet, but if we assume they are 10" long, using good old trigonometry, that gives us an effective length of 8.66" parallel to the chassis.
-Kenny
Sorry I would have to measure it when I get home, I cut a lot of that stuff out of the car when I redid the rear because of issues with the leafs, but there is probably enough left to measure it center to center....

Yep, it's only money and you can't take it with you so you might as well enjoy what you have. That's my story anyway... Looks good Kenny I hope it works for you like you wanted.

Good seeing you run that super bitchin car Kenny! I'm sure tomorrow will turn out better for you! Once we get the mad wheel hop under control on the sprint 6 chicken we might be running neck and neck!!!! Lol! I tried to get a pic of your launch but your car was too quick for my iPhone! All I got was a blur!

Ended up going 10.56 @ 129 mph yesterday. There is a bit of suspension tuning to do for sure. I need to move my bottom shock mount up for starters in the rear, but I need to trim my shock mounts so they miss the wend on the diff. I'd like to add a rear sway bar to the car as well. If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears! Here are a couple videos. I am pretty sure the drivers side rear shock is topping out on launch. The shocks I put in only had 3-7/8" of travel. I was guessing where my anti squat line is, and thought it was going to squat, but the diff is coming out of the car. When I bolted the rear shocks on, I left about 2.5-3" of room to compress, so not much left on extension. Next outing I will trim the shock mount and run more extension room. On the upside, I made it to the final in the 10.00 class (was only 5 of us to start with) and got taken out by my friend Darryl in his 572 440-1 1970 road runner. Our cars run very close motor to motor. So, he put his nitrous tune up in and strayed it out of the hole a little to get me! haha. http://youtu.be/Rw97ylw9Slkhttp://youtu.be/peH6JTg3SU0http://youtu.be/M_RYaJQ5_KE-Kenny

Common misconception that leaf spring cars squat, rather than extend on the hit. Glad you're making some progress, and it's always good to see someone try something different!

I checked out the video, looks good! Your foot braking it I assume? I have not tried the foot brake yet. I competed in a local event called the 100 foot dash. Basically single runs timed over 100 feet. Here are some pictures... Spinning a bit on this one... Different angle of first launch... I need an anti roll bar lol -Kenny
