I want to plate mine with 3/16ths

the freeak

In retrospect: After plating the majority of my project with 3/16" I would say that you could safely plate the VERTICAL faces with 1/8", saving the 3/16" for the bottoms of things that will see direct hits from the rocks.

Rear Droop: I dont really understand why you state that it will be necessary to move the axle back to gain rear droop. Could you elaborate on this?

Rear one link: if you are spending all the time/ money on the rest of this thing, PLEASE look into a simple four link. The antisquat characteristics of a one link are NOT desirable.

One more thing: check out FOA for air shocks... They offer a VERY nice parts at prices WAY below the blue or red shocks.

And Chris at FOA is a sponsor of King of the Hammers!

Runing 35s on a 6 inch lift was a feat with the rear. There is not more room to cut cause of the wheel well, so if I move the axle back about 2 inches or so I will be able to remove the back bottom part of the fender giving me more room. That is the plan as of now but the might change as thing start moving along.
Rear link: not sure if you are on pirate but there is a guy making su links (one links). The guy has made a very nice joints. Life time warrnty comes along with it. So if the price of the joint (297 with shipping) I can do it for cheap. With anitsquat I will adjust or just change the whole thing to a 4 link if it comes down to that.
Air shock: Ballistic man.

Was think the same idea with the plating freak

Ok Ill keep that in mind when i finally do it. Thanks guys.

You are going to spend 300 bucks for a SINGLE joint?

You do realize that his one link joint is nothing more than a trailer ball with a fancy coupler, right? I'm not saying it won't work, just that I think you can do SO much better for a LITTLE more money:

Check the vendors section on Pirate, for Ruff stuff.

He's selling heims for REALLY cheap, and they are REALLY nice.

I will look into that. I was going to go all ballistic for the rear and do a nice four link. Maybe I will change things arounds a little. I would like more info if you or anyone else would like to chime in.

Whats this?!?!
Now I am bn mean!
Shiny FOX shock under there.

Hell yeah!! That jeep looks alot like mine for some crazy reason.

I think hes bumpn the axle back so his tires dont get into the doors.

As far as antisquat, I know hes going to keep his CG as low as possible. With a low CG and a long SU link his % wont be to out of hand.

One joint is simple, low maintinence, and very strong. I dont think hes running in the KOH so as long as it preforms for him why try and change his mind?
Besides, if you can pull this kind of flex off and still keep it stable.... I'm in!!!

I know RTI ramps are a thing of the past but wach a few vid of this guy wheeln and you mind will be blown!

wow the first couple pages of this were hard to read!

glad we all know what airshocks we are talkin about now lol.




my to hardcore?

a 44 front wont last on 38'"+ tires. and even if you got that axle for super cheap. go ahead and splurge a little on a $600 dana60. i mean airshocks and 39's frame plating,blahdeblah, might as well not worry about your rig breaking because you wanted to save a couple hundred bucks.

friend of mine also runs 38.5 sx's on a 4" lift
i have run 37's on a 3"
i dont see the need to have to go taller than 6"

i don't understand, i know of several peopel who are lower and have larger tires that don't have that issue

MuddyCreek34

Got any specs or details on how you made this work

I am running 34s on 3" lift

Would really like to run 37s on 3" lift

DJKnightmare

you got a link to those sites? Don't be selfish ... share.

Some people just don't know how bumpstops and droop work.
