If you were in 5th gear, your rolling radius is 14.5".2003 TJ, NV3550, @65mph 2500rpm. Speed should be accuarate based on GPS and speedo gear change.

About 4" of equivalent lift. And don't be getting any ideas that I'm smarter than you!Latest one
22" to frame under middle body mount
17.5" hub height for 37's at 23psi
104" wheelbase.
Hopefully someone smarter than me can extrapolate a typical suspension lift height from that.
I noticed that too. Did we flatten your rear axle spring seats?
His lower spring seats are still in the stock orientation. With his similarly raised pinion, he should have a bit more ride height than we do.We did. I thought maybe the hardtop was a contributor (which it may be) but Chris still has a higher frame hieght, but then again his springs are newer than mine too.

Agreed. More is going on somewhere.2" higher though? Thats a huge gain. Even if springs sag, say 3/4".
Well, we spent some time driving it today and dialing it in. I am impressed and like it so much that I'm considering the possibility of building myself one just like it.About 4" of equivalent lift. And don't be getting any ideas that I'm smarter than you!![]()
What is this one doing well compared to an earlier build? Maybe that isn't an easy question...Well, we spent some time driving it today and dialing it in. I am impressed and like it so much that I'm considering the possibility of building myself one just like it.
It is very purpose built for one area and that is rocks, lots of rocks. It is armored, skidded, clearance, and tuned for rocks.

The biggest thing this one has is the new Fox DSC reservoirs. You can practically eliminate body roll with the low speed setting and even on the lowest high speed setting, we weren't able to bottom it out hard with some fairly enthusiastic driving on some rougher stuff in the neighborhood. The steering angle is excellent, the steering is very good. The stability is outstanding. My helper commented as I was whipping it around corners that it felt like you could drift it.What is this one doing well compared to an earlier build? Maybe that isn't an easy question...
I don't know yet. I can get the sprung weight pretty easily but the rest is just an educated guess until he hits some scales.Weight is one thing....
Blaine, what did this one end up weighing in at?
It is as balanced as we understand for what we do. I'll have to watch it for awhile to see if anything about how it is built changes that for us.I just realized we are over here, and not over there.
That looks like a balanced build!![]()
