Anyone on here running an antiwrap bar? I'm going to be building one for my Cherokee soon but I'm not sure on the direction and angle I should make the shackle point.

You mean a torque arm or traction bar right?

treah

Yeah

Why do you want a traction bar? Your motor turbo'd or?

treah

I'm wrapping springs. 36s low gears and soft springs. I don't want stiffer springs because right now the spring rate us right where I need it

Because wheel hop is a *****.

Look at Lowrange2's pictures on here somewhere.

Yea.

And this whole thread has been discussed about 2 months ago. Big debate in a design for tb. IIRC a control arm on the pumpkin to a fixed point worked best

Thanks I'll look into it when I get a chance. I just burned a few brackets out on the table so I'll have to get ready to begin building it

I'd check here if you haven't already

if my I'm going to be busting out the welder and my wallet, I'd rather build a 4 link.

I'll build a four link on the buggy the goal with this Cherokee was to keep it streetable yet still be able to do some of the hardest trails. So far I'd say it's gone well. My most recent project was the hybrid cage I just finished building for it.

Atmos

what's wrong with a 4 link for the street?

treah

Nothing but for my current setup I'm going to stick with what I have. I'll build a four link for the buggy I'm going to build

Atmos

what's wrong with leaf springs for a buggy?

Absolutely nothing. That is If you get the geometry correct. I've met a bunch of people over the years that after 4 linking the rear suddenly find themselves looking for a tow rig and trailer.

treah

My main issue is that you have to compromise between offroad and on road when you are trying to build a multi use vehicle. I'll four link my next project
