Well, it's out.
Finally got a few pics of it in action.
First impressions:
Crawling places I'd barely powered through before.
Off camber much better with center limit strap.
The high AS actually seems to help as things get vertical.
Seems to keep the front end weighted better. Very little unloading.
Here are some pics:

Turns?
You mean yours turns?
I use the "stop, drop, and roll" method of changing direction.:cheers:
 
That is balls nasty my friend...

balls nasty...

Glad you've finally crossed over into the function vs looks category :D

Will this cure your driveshaft issues?

After a lot of grinding on the yokes and center section of the dbl carden joint I can get well over 30 degrees of DS angle before binding.
The center limit strap allows about half of that.

So the answer is:
definately hopefully.
 
Outstanding!

Not that I had a choice in the matter.
Going from winning a show-n-shine to candidate for "nastiest rig" (had I made it to Moab) in one year.
 
y'all make me sick....lol I really love the setup

y'all meaning kid and wil..... :cheers:

when my jeep grows up I want it to be just like y'alls... :party:

I think I've already gotten over the looks over function thing....

It's ALL about the function....
 
the rear seems way flexier than the front. is the front straped up that high or is it binding. are you running any sort of sway bar to limit body roll on the trail.

looks good

I've got the front strapped. The left is at the limit just before the DS hits the LCA mount. I could lower the right a little bit but both are out of spring by this point anyway. Only the axle weight would be on the ground which would be of little value traction wise.

how long are your lowers?
35"
Not bad for a white guy. :cool:


I wouldn't worry about rear steer at all. It's not like it's flexing at 40 mph.
At crawl speeds it's not noticable at all.

I wouldn't go so far and say that Brad ... your Jeep is kinda cute as it wiggles through the rocks. Kinda like a $5 whore. Turns me on man! :D

The rig flexes and works very well. I've been fortunate enough to have been around while some of the bugs got worked out. I just hope I'm not the cause of some of the bad drive shaft luck!

Just the opposite. That was the first time the DS survived the day.
You're my 107 year old good luck charm. :kissyou:
