you trying to copy me? lowers on top of the axle, uppers sloping down...

Can you put the uppers at the axle end in front of the axle centerline?
I'd work on getting that -6 degrees closer to 0 also. Looks good though!

I'm fixing to revisit the Patrols pretty soon

[AggieTJ2007]

Yeah, I didn't plan on putting the uppers on top of the axle but it gives me better numbers.

As the axle droops the anti squat decreases would should keep the rear end from bouncing, vice versa as the axle crompresses

Why do you suggest moving the uppers forward of the axle centerline? and yes I can do that

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Will pushing the uppers forward help to keep your pinion from dropping during droop?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

What are you going to use as link ends?

Just ran across these on tx4x4.

From what I remember, it keeps the roll axis closer to the middle of the truck so it's not like you are pivoting on your rear axle. Haven't looked at it in a long time, but that's what I remember. That spreadsheet has really improved since I used it - didn't have the compress option back then...

[AggieTJ2007]

I am useing what I can from the old lift, so it will have flex-joints at one end and bushings at the other

[AggieTJ2007]

yeah moving the uppers forward helped to keep the pinion pionted at the T-case.

Ive got it now w/
-4 understeer, low anti-squat, and the pinion stays pointed at the case, it actually rotates up when the axle droops, and down when it compresses.

Just got to make sure that I can make it clear the floor/ chassis

[AggieTJ2007]

Looks like TJ axle bearings are the same as scout axle bearings, at least the set that I have should fit the axle

[AggieTJ2007]

Ok now on to shocks, what kind of shocks do yall like best.

I was thinking coil overs w/o the coils untill I get the extra cash for the coils and sliders.

The shocks need to be at least 15 inch travel and work good

I can believe that. mic the shaft and the housing, I have a book of bearing dimensions.

I would just buy smooth bodies and run normal tj coils

What are you doing on your pc? Aren't you supposed to be in your garage building a super comanchakee?

[AggieTJ2007]

well the old TJ shaft fits in the housing and the bearings should fit the shafts w/ a few thousands interference

Ok, I think I will go with those in a 14 inch travel. I should be able to get 6 inches up, 8 down.
