26" to. Chassis from ground

Lowest part of skid is 3" more

[isle of man]

Indeed but you have more rubber than willo's ideal.

[willo]

Also, I intend to limit strap the centre of the axles, so that when driving up side slopes and quartering uphill (bearing in mind it will be on airshox) it doesn't unload and fall over, wher ccan I find out or is there a calculator to determine what length these should be?

I'm confused??

If you went ORI this would not have been a problem.

Why go over the 100 wheel base if you are keeping (doggedly) the vision for bluebook?

If you bend the control arms you are adding a weak spot!!

ORI's I quite simply cannot afford.....I had an idea of what I needed to get to a certain level of (I hope) reliability and have sunk cash into that, Foxies were an afterthought seeing as all this is happening blah blah blah, and my arm was twisted by the garage

100" wheelbase I will have to suck it and see. Although others have said it is possible, I can assure you it is not possible to have a 100" TJ with all 4 wheels in the corners whilst keeping the look of the TJ by keeping the rear Tub and not traybacking........i'd like to be prooved wrong

I realise by bending you are introducing weakness but once again these are the challenges that are presented to us, and if the LCA's were straight off the chassis, the pax side one would hit straight onto the diff pumpkin, so it was either loose steering lock by mounting the arm outside the rail, or keep it and put a kink in the arms.....I'm sure we could gusset it if need be, sadly time is not on my side anymore so I can't get the axle re-tubed

Do you want me to get off me ass and go measure th Mafia skid plate for you - this will give a better indication as it's currently sitting on 37" mudzillas?

You need to look at hydro bump stops to control droop.

Yes that would be helpful, hydro bumps are a bit of a stretch at the mo - tho someone has a birthday this month  , may look at ahem landrover bumps on the chassis rails bumping the LCA's....maybe, Irealise the forces will be greater

I used big foam bump stops from Demon tweaks.... They compress to 50% of height so give a soft check.

You can then mount these on. Steel pads at the height you want them! They are cheap.

  thankyou, gotta love Birty's

[willo]

don't spose you have a link?

[isle of man]

26" to the chassis and 23'5" to the Clayton skid.

26" to the chassis and 23'5" to the Clayton skid.

Thanks, air'd up or air'd down?

[isle of man]

I believe that's at 15psi but not sure as it's sat for some considerable time!!

Problem with this is the axle moves so much when linked and to find a suitable touch spot on the axle is a challenge!!!

we will work it out

[isle of man]

OK OK let me put it another way - you are not going to find a sweet spot unless you restrict flex!!!

me or WW

if its me I'm not sure what you are driving at...

[isle of man]

Dry hump the front axle and all will be revealed - it moves a shiet load on flex,

[willo]

but surely it won't move fore and aft so once bumps are in place at full bump, nothing should change, air or polybush bump irrelevant

Jedi you are going to compromise for sure.


I just so happen to have a couple of hydro bump stops kicking about!!

[wildwood]

Or google
demon Tweaks
Powerflex heavy duty bump stops

got it lol

[willo]

these diff covers are thick mof's, 3/8" thick

[isle of man]

HMMM..

Curious question, what size prop yoke did you go for?

[willo]

1310. I realise the pitfalls, when more cash allows I will upgrade to 1330 or 1350

[isle of man]

Indeed I have 1330 front and 1350 rear.

[Delk]

Maybe I am the outcast but I like the front and would move the back forward so you didn't have to do the big comp cut. My preference would be to open up the back but keep the round corners so the body tub keeps it's shape.
