im building my own long arm front end for my MJ, and i would like people to post pics of their setups so i can get even a better idea of things. homemade or off the shelf. the more i research, the more i realize how simple it can be. (i have ruled out going the Ford radius arm route)
Basicly, its one long arm that is jointed at the bottom of the axle and then jointed farther back (than lca stock mount) on the unirail. branching off that long arm is the uca, and then attatches at the same location as the lca but above the axle. the uca has joints at each end and adjustable at 1 end (well at least mine will be adjustable). so that adjusts the pinion angle and castor (angle of knuckles off perpendicular to ground..right?). so basically, disregarding any specific measurments, is that it?
is it pointless to use more flexible joints/bushings on the uca? is the uca even effected by the cycling of the suspension? or is its only function to keep the axle tubes stationary (and adjusting angles)?
thanks for all your input. it will all be put to use on my MJ
