Lots of goodies came in. Not shown is 28 feet of 2" 0.25 DOM tubing. All links will be double adjustable.
Looking forward to seeing how the links turn out. I've currently got core 4x4 single adjustable uppers and fixed lowers. Been thinking about making my own lower double adjustables.Lots of goodies came in. Not shown is 28 feet of 2" 0.25 DOM tubing. All links will be double adjustable.

I'm pretty much just following in others' footsteps here. As I understand it, there is simply no need to stretch the frame. It will still be the tub that limits axle-up travel. I do know that on more extreme builds people will "back half" the jeep where the frame is cut completely off near the rear-most body mount and a new rear frame is fabricated. I'll do it if I have to, but would rather not lol.Out of curiosity, how come you chose to push the axle back in the arch instead of stretching the frame to keep the axle centered under the arch? I can’t wait to follow the rest of this build! A stretch is a dream of mine as well
Awesome. I wasn’t sure if the frame would limit the uptravel or not. I suppose you don’t have to fit a collapsed spring between the axle and frame anymore so that frees up some room! You aiming for 7” uptravel?I'm pretty much just following in others' footsteps here. As I understand it, there is simply no need to stretch the frame.

Thats my goal, 7 up, 7 down!Awesome. I wasn’t sure if the frame would limit the uptravel or not. I suppose you don’t have to fit a collapsed spring between the axle and frame anymore so that frees up some room! You aiming for 7” uptravel?

The first draft of the 4 link is tacked in place, now I need to lower to body back onto the frame to see where my interference points are between the body and suspension at full bump. Coilovers showed up today too!

6.5" at the frameNice job! Looks really good. What’s your vertical separation looking like at the frame and at the chassis?
This is likely what I'll do.Blaine says to just WACK the suspension link and dimple the tub for your arms to clearance themselves.
Looks great.
Sweet. What’s your design process for the geometry? Do you use the calculator?6.5" at the frame
9.75" at the axle
That a 2"?The first draft of the 4 link is tacked in place, now I need to lower to body back onto the frame to see where my interference points are between the body and suspension at full bump. Coilovers showed up today too!

In the beginning I did, but mainly I've used it to learn how changing one thing affects everything else.Sweet. What’s your design process for the geometry? Do you use the calculator?
Correct. 2.0 14" travel with DSCThat a 2"?
I've got the 2.5's versions waiting. I'll be watching but I'll have a little more work to get mine in. Great looking CO's though.Correct. 2.0 14" travel with DSC
my problem with the 2.5's is how much longer the collapsed length was.I've got the 2.5's versions waiting. I'll be watching but I'll have a little more work to get mine in. Great looking CO's though.
