Just thought these might come in handy to folks on the forum.
By all means, feel free to share your learnings.I'm going to keep on moving the uppers. And we also figured out how to correct Dave's geometry correction to largely stop the hops while climbing big steep ledges.
If I recall, the vertical separation at the axle needs to be brought closer to the Savvy mid arm. The uppers need to go higher. The hops are significantly reduced.By all means, feel free to share your learnings.

and just to maintain context here, is the design a noticeable improvement over a stock short arm, and raising the uppers more makes that improvement even more significant?
That's fine. It wasn't made for off road use. It was made for driving tight fast circles around a parking lot to stop the front inside tire from lifting.Adding @David Kishpaugh for his input
oh, I remember the thread. It was just such a charlie foxtrot that it was impossible for the rest of us to actually figure out what was real.The JW Geo kit was no better than stock lifted short arms in an off-road context where geometry actually matters. Fixing the Geometry Correction was a very noticeable mprovement.
FYI, Dave blocked me for pointing out how his shitty kit doesn't work off road right about this time last year. Not too long ago, he unblocked me. Let's see if he does it again.
The AS was changed by lowering the IC a bit.oh, I remember the thread. It was just such a charlie foxtrot that it was impossible for the rest of us to actually figure out what was real.
If you're keen to do so, can you explain why the seemingly significant geometry changes made by the standard correction kit don't make a noticeable difference, but an additional comparatively minor change to one end of the uppers does?
For clarity, my use of "seemingly significant" and "comparatively minor" simply refer to the total change in angle over how many links are affected, and the assumption that the resulting change in instant center is proportional to each.

Exactly how and why, I don't care much. Except that I know what I saw on the trails before and after.
So is the SwayLOC that you raved about a “shitty kit” too because it only improves if you are driving in tight fast circles in a parking lot too? That was sarcasm, we know it improves street ability too but is it any better off road and if not should we say it sucks like you’re saying JW’s kit does?That's fine. It wasn't made for off road use.

So you are saying that the JW Geo Correction does NOT improve the performance off road at all? That’s it’s zero gain?Bad comparison, because the Swayloc is an improvement over the stock sway bar on the street, while doing everything that the Antirock does offf-road.
