WASHroad Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 So that's what ground clearance will do for you!! Looks good. I like the rear bumper, it looks like it will take a hit off a rock or a tow and just laugh it up... How did you get the nice weather, the whole state was raining all weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3eyedwagon Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Sweet mother of rear tire super far forward in the wheel well.... looks like alot of the 2" cars we've done, only not. Where'd you get that kit, and what does it consist of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True2Blue Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 is a 4" sjr:rolleyes: ill be fixing that when i do the 6" lift this year lol and it looks worse than it is in the pics these are 235/75R15 "29 inch tires" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3eyedwagon Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 So, are the trailing arm mounts dropped with that lift, or stock? I'm guessing stock, as that is probably what is causing that. I'm guessing it's just a strut, and diff drop. I know a bit is normal, but, on a complete drop kit; that doesn't happen to that extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True2Blue Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 i bought it lifted and the trailing arms are stock.. the trailing arms are the only thing that are not "lifted" oddly... ill doing my own lift so everything is lined up and spaced out right...

3eyedwagon Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Yeah, that's probably a good idea. If nothing else, just to keep those new tires away from that steel lip under full rear suspension droop. :-\ Like I said, those 2" strut kits have that problem, but, we built those cars to be beat to death at Walker Valley. We just beat them until it cleared, and didn't care how they looked. You seem to want yours to last awhile, and drive nice, sooooo..... When you build your kit that drops all of the trailing arm mounting points 6"; you may want to consider some for of linking bar at the front/leading edge of the forward most block. The block sits perpendicular, and kinda hangs down like something just WAITING to get ripped off of the car. A piece of angle welded from the bottom of the block, forward, and up to the body goes a long ways to stiffening all of that. A plate bolted to the bottom of the unibody to weld the angle to makes all of it pretty reverseable too. You'll see what I mean. A link will help alot though to prevent that 90* piece from hanging down catching on stuff. The link will also kinda act as a rock slider to help you kick up, and over obstacles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True2Blue Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 yea i thought that through when i had my tranny out. while laying under the ru i thought of an amazing idea but toold time and money limit me right now... run 2 "tubes" from the crossmember to the mustache bar on the outside of the unibody rails acting as "rock sliders" but really being support for my front and rear bumpers and when i thought of dropping the trailing arm mounts i came up with another crossmember design for the trailing arms so its basically a rear sub frame:rolleyes: we will see how it goes... by that time it will need an ej lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bash Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Your set up doesn't use blocks? So if I just add 2" blocks it will center the wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
