Why do you run the rear driveline reversed?

It's not reverse it's a double cardan drive shaft I had a 5" lift before. So I reuse the shafts

Nice work on the radius arms! I had something similar in mind a couple months ago, but never got past the "idea" stage. I was going to make them slightly longer than stock (maybe 1"...) and incorporate caster correction also. (I'm assuming you did that as well)

What material did you make them from? I wondered what thickness to use--making them a box section gains a lot of strength, but I didn't know if I could size the material down or if I needed to use 3/8" side plates...

thanks. it was welded by a shop here. very nice work.
They are longer (2") and provide caster correction for a 4" lift.
The plates are 3mm thick and boxed for strength. It's lighter and it's not cast iron like the OEM ones. I've had them for 1 yera now and they've work super good so far

Hi guys,
we started to talk about that on an other thread from nukegoat Double triangulated rear 80
Here's what I've been working on since 2012
After 3 designs and builds, this is what came out out my head.

Thanks Jose! I’d love to see your rig when I’m in California btw
I’ll be working on the 80 soon hopefully as I received the 4WU
I’ll try to get more technical about the wishbone when I do the rear

I don’t get it ​

@nukegoat is referring to other previous post here on mud. It was rather heated... like two Prima Bulls...

 

[jfmaillot]

Hahaha ok ! Nukegoat poetry is hard to get sometimes. That’s why he builds stuff lol
