I adjusted my pressures to around 6.5 mpa in the front. The way I adjust tbars is to jack the truck to the height I want (roughly) then extend the adjusters til they are through the anchors but no threads beyond. Then I index the tbars to be very near the point where they take up the slack...

Sorry for being rather absent lately! Six cars plus an 8 year old plus a house plus a job plus God knows what else and I can't keep up. I did find time to install these and replace one of my t-bar anchors which was making it hard to get the height adjustments working right. I think these are...

Got a few. I chopped up the derale shroud I bought (took about an inch off the depth and expanded one of the fan holes to allow more airflow and stuck a pusher fan in the shroud through the other hole: I used the older (2000ish) fan clutch as its height is lower: And this has resulted in me...

Order placed here as well. Shopify wanted me to sign in but didn't want to tell me it wanted me to sign in.

@cruiserpatch I can't seem to get the online store to accept my order. When I click "place order" I get the spinning wheel for 1 or 2 seconds then it goes back to "pay now" and nothing happens. I'll try again later.

I'll be putting my name on the pre-order list here shortly.

One other point I'll mention is running 80 series rear springs. I believe they're 1-2 inches longer than 100 series springs, and I think the LX ones are 150 lbs/in and the LC ones are 170 lbs/in (kings are 130 lbs/in and shorter). The extra length means you can run softer springs and still hit...

Yeah I was going to suggest that cranking the t-bars would alleviate the failure case, but realized that didn't work for the rear. My non-ahc t-bars would handle the front weight fine if the AHC died but most folks aren't running them. Also - are the front and rear systems separate enough that...

Yeah fair enough - there's no doubt that AHC adds complication and more failure points to the suspension. Realistically I only ever change height to hitch trailers or work on the LX, and I have a spare car or two!

How did the failure occur? I'm at 200k miles and have replaced all four shocks/rams (around 170k) and all four globes (at 198k), and the system just keeps right on working. This is with it lifted and towing all kinds of ridiculous crap behind the truck. This is on 33s but I plan to go to 35s...

I do love the AHC - it's a surprisingly resilient system. I'll add you to the list. They are heat treated - that was the concern of the guy at sway-a-way about simply turning down a set of their thicker bars. They can (supposedly) turn them down a bit without worrying but too much turning...

Yeah, the smallest tires on the jeeps were 35s. Most were 37+

Here's a s***ty comparison of our approaches...

They went across the wider but less steep section about five feet to the right of where I went across. They also came at it a lot straighter than I did. If id tried that, the crack would've swallowed my whole frickin wheel!

Thank you! Maybe the scariest thing I've ever attempted. Balancing on two wheels like that was wild. I walked all up and down that crank looking for the best way to get the 100 across and did it fairly different than the jeeps did.
