What do I have to lose by getting the rear in my 1992 Cherokee triangulated 4 link. I know I'm going to lose towing and what not, what are the pros and cons.
You have nothing to gain for the type of wheeling you do, except a whole bunch of money.
Heims/flex joints
Links
Bracketry
Springs/shocks/air shocks/Coilovers
Design/fabrication time
Or, have you priced a kit? $$$$
Well I'm definitely not an expert, but doing this will take a while and alot of experience. I suggest waiting till you have a second vehicle and a have the knowledge to do it.
Look into the advanced thread and at Pirate 4x4 and look at how much it takes to do this. Wait awhile, what you are rolling with is fine for now.
Your friend must work pretty cheaply. A set of flex joints is going to be $300-500, depending on whether your arms are all fixed length or adjustable all around. Springs can be $50 at the junkyard to $700 for a pair of airshocks. Tube for the links. Tube or plate to make brackets from. Hardware, consumables, labor. Reinforce the unibody to have suitable mounting points for control arms.
Weren't you talking about needing a slip yoke eliminator and lockers the other day?
Edit: Get some seat time.
What are you running?
Lift?
Tires?
Any info would help
Why do you say that?I know I'm going to lose towing...
Why do you say that?
I just assume leaf can hold more weight than coils.
