Build The honey badger build

[Firemedic831]

So I am not Running a 40 inch spare. Would look stupid and take up the entire rear end. So. Quick call to my design team and going with something like this . I will use one of my Roam boxes And then run 2 fuel cans . Maybe stick my high lift back there somehow .

So I got a new toy today. This will be used a lot

My goal was to cycle the suspension this weekend and well it works . Nothing binds. Really happy. I have it set to have 4 inches of up travel and the rest droop. I may raise it another inch. D

So I seen where someone else used this same rear set up only difference is he used the link calculator . I had everything the same except my axle mounts. I had them
At 12 inches of separation. By the calculator and with 40 inch tires I should be at 10 inches. . I had some different mounts I liked better anyways. So I ran home today and cooked some up. Moved the mount to 10 inches and Boom we are at 103 Anti squat . Going with it

Very nice

 

[Firemedic831]

So when I would cycle the rear it would not drop as far as I hoped for. Then I noticed the opposite side was hitting on the leaf spring mount . So I got a new toy . She drops to the floor now. Nothing touches.

 

[Paul]

Nice choice. I’ve eyeing them. Just need to select one that work with the CNC table I’m interested in.

 

[Firemedic831]

So I can fit the coilover like this . Without cutting the tub . I am not opposed to cutting but would prefer not to if I don’t have to. It’s kinda a one shot deal doing that . Thoughts

 

[Firemedic831]

Another option would be to not use the coil mount. But to put a plate that ties into the cage and then make a sort of hoop that ties back into the frame

 

[Firemedic831]

Thinking this will look cleaner

 

[Firemedic831]

A little better

 

[Firemedic831]

Let’s see if it will work . Also just seen this 40

 

[Paul]

Watching

 

[Firemedic831]

[Paul]
