I thought I said inboarding does not affect the as/ad, only roll center?

I don't think I mentioned the raising of the mounts?

the first part, definitely yes. im really not familiar with roll axis in a front end application, but yes, it will also increase the more you inboard. the further in/out your frame end mounts are in relation to your axle side the more "steer" you will have when you flex the suspension. this is really only regarding the radius arm design, its a bit more complicated with triangulated 3/4 links.'

im not sure about roll center height.

"Inboarding the frame mounts isn't going to affect the AD and AS. maybe roll center, but barely." "Except the steeper angles do affect how it reacts under load. It raises the AS/AD." So which one is it?

Inboarding and raising are 2 different things

I read it wrong. My mistake. Also, I also didn't mean to imply that inboarding the LCA mounts effect AD/AS. Raising the mounts at the x-member was what I was shooting for. Of course, it all depends on many other variables. We have to look at the system as a whole.

So I pulled the trigger on the tnt kit. I also have my 12inch travel bilsteins, and I'm ordering my frame stiffeners on Thursday. HD off-road front, middle and rears.

Also I plan to order a steering box spacer(most likely JCR) but I have a question, what do I have to do to make it work right with a YJ box?

TNT also sells just a inner steering box brace. Call them, don't see it on their page.
