They work on a tank because they are sprocket driven and I think they have a idler wheel to take up the slack (George would know the answer to that).
I would think to use a track on a springer, you would have to lock each sides suspensions together making it act as if it was a right and left suspension only rather than 6 independent suspensions.
l like to buy stuff and no I don't do payments!
