Re-centering sounds like a lot of work since its a two piece wheel to start off with....

and re centering h1 rims definitely isnt a new idea

 

[QUOTE=sandaddik2;660662]Heres a few pics of the jeep from the other day. i still have alot to clean up but this is the first time it had the long arms under it, and i am replacing the brake lines so it doesnt matter if they are hanging...











hey a quick question... how long are the lca and how far back is the upper one from the axle? i am trying to figure out which route to go with mine. i'm really considering doing a 3 link but like the y arm set up too. nice work by the way . and how does it handle on the highway?

 

i expected it to handle worse than it does considering its on unbalanced 35s with no sway bars or steering stabilizer, it doesnt do too bad at all. when its not broke and i feel like driving it ill cruise around town in it. it handles okay on the highway, not nearly as good as a stock xj on the road but i feel comfortable in it doing 70ish

i personally dont have a problem with a y link set up and even though it does bind up if you watch it flex if you put heims at the frame end that will be fixed and a y link will give you all the useable travel you need.

the lcas i want to say are like 36 eye to eye but i dont remember that well.
the uppers are about 20 eye to eye, those are easy, i put the lcas on and looked at where the ucas would fit best and welded the uca mounts on.

 

i don't run the anti sway bar either. i am currently in the middle of swapping out the stock steering and replacing it with the popular heim set up and i have been debating leaving the steering stabilizer off. thanks for the help.

 

Swaybars? What are those, LOL. I three wheel around corners!

 

un bolt it first and drive for a few days and see if you notice a difference. i didnt notice any difference on mine with 35s.


updates: i have been working on plating the frame rails, just cutting the pieces out nothing welded on yet, and i have been hard at work on the roll cage, its a hybrid cage with a lot of it exo but internal b and c pillars.


heres a quick cell pic


ill get better pics tomorrow if i have time
