looking more like a mid arm, which is good... and a rusty's type rear without the bent arms....

how long are they?

**RCXTREME** · 02-23-2009, 05:26 PM

You are right, close to a midarm in the rear. Length on the rear lower is I think 32 inches. I measured them this morn, but cant remember since then. Freakin MONDAYS.

That on 33's? Looks great!

come up with a skid that takes the minimum amount of modifications to fit and I'll buy when/if I go LA

is it tri-link or does it use the stock brackets in the rear?

what I'm seeing is a straight four link that'll work like a a radius in the rear from uppers mounted at the same point as the lowers on the frame. it'll flex great, especially if they put JJ's on both ends of the rear upper and lowers.

depending on shock length, it may not even help having JJ's on both ends tho because the shocks for 4" of lift won't let single JJ arms drop far enough to bind them to the point of critically damaging mounts, longer shocks will interfere with up travel without shock relocation.
I'm more curious of the anti squat capabilties of the configuration..

that'll come out of the box with a sweet hwy and off road ride compared to sa's

needs more wheelbase (if that's ride height)
needs less lift or bigger tires

Going by pictures, I hope that it is still on the lift and not at ride height...

Everyone is right, jeep is on the lift and we are gonna run 35s. Those 33s just happened to be laying around the shop for mock up.

Today we are getting the arms fully welded and finishing up all the welding on the brackets. Hopefully the cage, wheels, gears and axles and lockers will show up today. Need to hurry up and get the gears and axles installed. I might have to work sunday to get the cage all mocked up and installed. I will get some pics of the parts as they come in.
