Anyone use Eimkeith RAMs AND Delta VS Arms?

[mics]

Currently running 37's on an unknown lift with some kind of unknown caster correction plate (PO installed).

I want to run 40's, but would like to push the front axle forward 2". My thought is using the Eimkeith Radius Arm Mounts PLUS the 3" Delta arms with the extra 1" of length built in.

Anyone running this setup successfully? With what I expect to be a 4" lift, it will have over corrected caster a little, but I'm thinking it shouldn't be too much.

So you want to increase your ground clearance with 40s then negate all the gains by lowering your radius mounts?

Why not just 3-link or get the 5L arms.

 

[mics]

A 3-link is cost prohibitive. If the 5L arms kick the tire forward 2", then I'd go that route. But again, looking to push forward 2". Do you know if this is the case?

And negate all gains? Hardly. Two little spots for the radius arm brackets isn't going to "negate all gains".

Ya ok, you’re opening a lot of negatives but if you want to half ass it go ahead.

The 5L only moves the axle forward an inch. I would do a search on what others have done to get 40s underneath.

Good luck.

Why do you want to push the axle forward 2"
It will just create other issues.
Anything that you do or want to do on you 80 has already been tried.
1" is the magic number to move your axle forward and still run control arms

i think your steering will hit your diff at 2" forward. it gets pretty close at 1"

Delta 5L and lots of trimming. And I would get a DC shaft if not already

It’s not the steering it’s the panhard that gets close.
And 2” it will most likely be binding.
It will also push the tires into the radiator support.

I'm trying this with standard arms.

I have 3" standard length delta arms and I'm on the lower end of in-spec.

Feels fine at 45-55 but gets a little nervous on the interstate. I've wanted to experiment with 6-7° just for science and laughs.

I know I could sell my arms and snag another set but I'm not sure what box of worms it'll open driveshaft wise or if I'll commit so I grabbed the $90 black Friday eimkeith brackets.

If I like it enough I might eventually sell my 3 degree arms buy some 5s and cut the brackets off. Or I may buy the 5Ls and run 5Ls vs ram + 3s back to back to see if I can feel what this anti dive is all about from behind the wheel. Or fall in love and never touch it, who knows.

But I didn't want to commit to spending the $1500 shipped then have to deal with selling. So this is perfect for me. And the more I read about the product the more I dig it.

Just to clarify my goals before people berate me I'm not actually trying to solve a problem here I just think it's interesting to adjust suspension geometry and feel the results for myself. So for under $100 this should be fun.

Hard no to L arms plus the ram mount. Go look under the truck from side to side and it'll be obvious why.

Tell us more of your buold.....lift height, tire size, suspension set up....ect.
I'm running their 3" regular arms with 2.5" lift on 315s and no issue going 75mph..

If you’re not going to do technical rock crawling this set should work good.
The eimkeith brackets are a good product that are under rated.
Unlike others they bring the arms closer to stock.
There down side is loss of ground clearance.

no issue going 75mph..

Yeah none here either. I'm in spec.
Just did a 1500 mile round trip. Often had the cruise on 78.

But I want to see what ~6° feels like.

Just as a data point, I'm relatively sure six is what Jeeps come with from the factory (not that anyone buys a Jeep and doesn't lift it). I suspect it'll feel a bit less like a car and more like a truck if you know what I mean. A little more lazy but very stable.
