That looks pretty good! How long did it take? Do you have any larger pics?
Thanks,

Nice! great job on the install. How does the articulation differ, or in other words how much better is the flex in the rear??

Very nice, and clean work. Looks great. Do you notice a better ride overall?

The ride Is great, It should be perfect when I get the 7100 reservoirs for the rear.

your jeep is beautiful, i was considering this kit but also thought about doing it myself. how close are the triangulated links to the driveline? in one of the pics they look really close. also how is your up-travel? it looks like there would be lots of droop available but not much up-travel. thanks! looks awesome

I think i speak for everyone when I say lets see how far you can flex it haha

R_jeep · Feb 5, 2009

what coils are you using for the rear?

redneckboarder · Feb 5, 2009

so are you the lucky guy that won the ebay auction for that rear orfab?

gradon · Feb 5, 2009

I dig it (springs setup, mods, color, look, . . .).:thumbup:

-No, I was the one that built it. You should be able to call up OR-Fab now and order them(new version).

-The springs are TM 4" rear TJ unlimited springs.

-I will have some Flexing shoots as soon my wife lets me out on the trails...which should be soon, considering that i just bought her a iMac.

-And The uptravel is limited right now because I don't have the right shocks in yet(soon).

They handle Great! & I still need to align it! The are fairly quiet. They'er better than the MT/R's that I had on it!

XJ[4x4]77 · Feb 6, 2009

hmm... you might have just sold me on them. haha i just want to get rid of my bias swampers so bad. and my rear full spool that eats tires.

RCman · Feb 6, 2009

Looks good.
Do you find you have any clearance issue with the truss being so tall?
