Hey guys so i have searched and searched it seems like people just haven't posted much or covered my issues so here i am.iam looking to use my adjustable c.a's to push my.axle forward maybe an inch or 2 for front bumber clearance and a flatter control arm for better flex.what Ineed to know is iam planning on a double shear t.b and iam at about 4/4.25 of lift are thing gonna bind up and make it not worth it or am Iwithin limits for reasonable on road of road ride?

i was looking to do this aswell only push it about 2 inches foreword

I'm not sure where it is, but there is a certain point where you need to move the steering box forward. I highly doubt that 1" will cause any issues, but if you go too far, your steering linkage will hit the swaybar mounts and the diff cover.

Yeah, the double sheer design is not going to accommodate the axle moving forward. You will need to modify the frame side bracket to move the mounting location forward as much as the axle. The double sheer will not pivot forward like the single sheer t/b's with flex joints frame side.

I have right at around 2 inches of stretch..no issues.
Custom 3 link..4.5" of lift.
Just added th stretch to my arms of the 3 link

Ok this is what i need so what t.bar setup are you running? And do you notice a deference in the belly dragging more because of a little stretch

Ok i didnt see the part about the single sheer with f.side flex joint. You guys think this is the way to go?

Not really. Even with the flex joint top side, the axle end needs to sit parallel inside the bracket or you'll wear out the axle end bushing and introduce the DW. If you don't want to modify the frame mount. You'll need to use a flex joint on the frame side and modify the bar need the axle end so that there is a bend in the bar so it will be parallel to the axle where it mounts to the bracket.

Use an over the axle t bar bracket. That way you can get the correct alignment.

So then the question is whats the better fix.i woukd think the frame bracket but i have no access to a welder can the frame just be drilled and bolted forward the equal amount of axle moveme.and how are the shocks.do they travel freely or is there a preferred setup from stock mounts

Preferred company? I havent ran across this product

You might be able to drill and slide the bracket forward...but you'll have to drop the axle to do so...its pretty tight up in there.

They probably require being welded to the axle.

Look at FST. They are a vendor on here and they sell a real nice one. Also, rough stuff makes a real nice bracket as well

i looked a fst and the website didnt have much info as far as if welding is needed would anyone by chance run this setup so they can tell me how sit rides

Last line of the description indicates that the OTA Track Bar bracket needs to be welded on. http://froehlichsuspension.3dcartsto...e-XJ_p_12.html Our frame side track bar bracket is bolt on, double sheer, and also bring the track bar about 1.5" further forward than stock.

Yes, every OTA track bar brack option will need to be welded on. No other way to bring the track bar up using the existing mount.

Something else to think about when planning the stretch is how the shocks will be angled forward quite a bit more and this might cause the bushings to wear more if there is binding.
