Shift front axle forward?

[Ebag333]

Immaterial. He's rubbing at stuff, not ride height. At stuff, the wheel should be moving forward, back to its original position before the lift.

I don't think it's immaterial because as one side goes up the other goes down. Even if you fully compress one side, the other side is still going to be dropped some. The more lift you have, the more that side drops, which means the axle as a whole drops more. (Assuming your shocks are long enough)

Think of it as an average. The average distance between frame and axle of a lifted truck will always be higher than the average distance for a stock truck, no matter what the axle is doing.

This tripped me up quite a bit, and I had the same objection as you, but it makes sense if you think about both sides being in play.

If I limited my droop, I'd be willing to bet I don't rub (or at least not as bad) on the stuffed side.

I was asked not to share, but this photo shows what was being talked about earlier. Was out doing some volunteer work with the forest service this morning, snapped this pic. I have plenty of room behind the tire, tight on the front side.

Thanks for sharing.

This is a fair explanation as to why you are not comfortable with providing your modified plates.

Your previous answer just made you sound like a bit of a dick.


As already mentioned, I'm not going to be pulling the hitch pin so in this case it's a non-issue. But it's something that is good to be aware of.

That's fine and I do get a little sensitive to possible catastrophic failure. I really don't want to contribute to someone loosing their life.

That may seem a little dramatic but I couldn't endure that.

Naw, I totally understand. Just wish you would have explained from the start.

What's the internet without a little drama?

One of these in the back can help.

I really like this setup in the rear, just wondering why where the Y-link mounts to the truss the heim joint is mounted parallel to the axle?

This setup is to get rid of the panhard, so all of the lateral load is put on the upper "Y".

The way it is set up now, the force is pushing side to side on the joint, if the blot were vertical, then the force would be on the correct part of the heim.

Just wondering?

I looked at a setup like that a while ago. I like it. I think that its so tight in the axle and frame mounts that they will bind before there is enough lateral movement to affect the heim. They put it in that configuration because there will be more "twisting" movement than lateral movement on the heim, and thats the proper position for this scenario. Thats what I suspect anyway.
