So Cal desert rats

[Vanimal]

scott, how long are the arms, and how high is the pivot hole in the bracket? i have some long arms on a zj i got for parts that i was going to transfer to the xj, but the pivot hole looks too close to the frame rail, so if i really stuffed a wheel, the arm would hit the frame rail near where the old control arm bracket used to be. although there probably wasnt much of a problem with the 8-10" of lift it had, but my xj will only have 4-5" and 31's so i want to make the most of the travel.

 

[tone]

I'm good

i run the rk kit like i sold scott its not a worry with the kid i ran it with 4.5 inch of lift and stuffed with 32s and never hit the rail i know what ur saying it looks pretty close to hitting when u flex out but never really does

 

[scottmcneal]

What he said.He didn't get close and i have a 6.5 to 7" lift

 

[Vanimal]

cool, thanks guys! is it worth the hassle of switching to long arms for only 4 inches of lift? considering the fact that i already have them...

 

[Paul Airhart]

Sure, it helps the axle to drop out better.

 

[tone]

Long arms are +12HP

[scottmcneal]

Yea i think we can.I'll ask the wife cause she is the boss of me.LOL

 

[tone]

i work sat at 2 so I could be good to go depending on where it is/if you guys wanna leave earlier?

 

[scottmcneal]

tone it is a 2 to 3 hour drive.Then we'll stop at the mines and spend more time doing the exploring stuff and going to the next mine.This is going to be a all day trip.

Sorry, i wish you could go, the road is just your speed.LONG and straight and FAST,if you want a ticket.LOL.I think the speed limit is 15 or 25 and it is a state park.

 

[tone]

I can't go anyway I gotta do a fluid check before I go out again

Could a WJ on a BB make this? It has been a loooooong time since I have been there. These are the mines right outside of 29 Palms correct?

Yes it can, in the video they used a stock one to do the run.

yep those are the ones i'm talking about

 

[Xtreme XJ]

and it is a state park.

National Park... Thanks to Clinton in 1994, from a Nat. Monument to a Nat Park.
Scott go in from the N.side... meet with Shelbyluvv and head for Gold Crown Rd.
Then you come home via the interstate and he can spin around and head home... plus no $$ for entry that way.
