New 4-Link Problem/Question

mike

the legnth shouldnt be a problem, that is just a sketch, its not to scale or anything. The bars are 29" long, which is plenty im pretty sure. That sketch is just drawn up for ease of viewing. The bars will much longer in the auctual vehicle.

In this pic you can see kinda how long the bars will be. The go all the way to the point ware the tubing meets at the lower front frame rails (28-29")



Thanks for the replies ppl

right on... looks good man!

^^^thanks man......

am i right to assume those bars should be long enough? 28-29"

im starting to have second thoughts about it now...

what is the safe range of bar legnth for minimal pinion angle change?

holy notch for one! u runnin cylinders over axle or on the bars? i would recommend over axle for hydros. How much lift do u want or plan on gettin? More lift...i would way longer the bars to help cut down on pinion angle problems and run heim joints w spacers on both ends or run a bushing at the front and heim w spacer on the axle end for good side to side or 3 wheel. 12" or more of lift or cylinders i would say run at right around 30" bars. Also do not mount your bars on the crossmember thats runs across the frame rails. Your frame rails and really low for mounting points to be honest. U want to try to keep the bars horizontal at about ride height. But by the looks of it looks like at ride height your axle is still way above your new back half frame rails. Also w a x-member like u drew up looks like driveline would hit when all the way up. Anymore questions feel free to email me at slamdxterra@hotmail.com...i do airride for a living!

wow man, come on.

i will say this again......THAT IS A QUICK DRAWING. Do you honestly think that i was going to run a strait bar accross between the two frame rails, with no driveshaft hoop. It was a drawing to show the quesion i had about the link positioning. NOT AN AUCTUAL DRAWING OF WHAT IS BEING PUT IN PLACE.

The notch is just large enough to lay on a 22" wheel. and in the picture, its at a high ride height. it looks large because the stock frame rails naturally curve up, and mine just stay strait and low, so it gives the illusion of a extremely large notch. and obviously with a 2 dump setup, The vehile is not being intended for 3 wheel, or HUGE lift or sides. also, as you stated above, you think i should go with way longer bars...like 30"...dude did you read what i posted above, my bars are 29"...they dont need to be WAY longer...just an inch, i can probably adjust that with the threading out the bushing at the end of the bar.

Jeesh man, it dosent even look like you ready any of the follow up posts at all.

and seriously......cylinders on the bars? come on...get fuckin real, thats a failure waiting to happen. LOL this isnt my first juice install, hell this isnt my 10th.

And i didnt ask for any pointers for the juice install. I asked, i will state it again for the recond, What are the pros and cons for running my link closer to the axle, rather than spread apart like most people do.

The cylinders are mounted and running parallell to the axle. they are 10", and use a leverd system to deliver the lift to the axle. That is why im interested in puttin the bars so colse to the inside of the axle, for room for all that i am doing.

Just go 30 and make everyone happy...

lol

dick.

haha

I prob will go 30" but thats not the point. nor was that the question. well not atleast the origional question.

but i think i found a way that im gonna run my lower bars further towards the wheels. should solve all this BS.

Yeah, looks like you have alot of room to play with and your tank is out of the way.29 and a half maybe?

that sig thing under your name is the most distracting thing iv seen in a long time. took me like 30 mins to read these 2 pages.
