I'm not real sure what those pics are supposed to represent?  With no springs there should be practically no limit to the travel.  I'm guessing there is no steering either which would cause it to bind up.

That was just a test of the 3 link...

Hydraulic steering in front...no hi steer binding or anything like that.

Future Nitrogen shocks in the rear...so there will be no springs...AND...Junkyard says HELLO  :owned:

Are ou sure that he didn't tell you air shocks or coil-overs?  Maybe I am thinking of a different setup but don't you have to have something to hold the sprung weight of a vehicle?  Shocks (nitrogen) are not designed to hold that.  Fox air shocks can hold up to 2500 pound rigs and below IIRC.

I have been wrong before with this stuff, so straighten me out.

Who was  :owned: ?  Did I miss something?

There is still going to be a limiting factor no matter what you run for suspension.  Better order up some stainless braided brake lines...

So since your math was wrong on your WB what is the actual travel here?

well since i am now putting in rockwells, say good bye to air shocks, i think rubi springs and later fox shocks.


ill still get that much flex, but flex isnt everything, it helps though.

wb will now be around 111 with 44 inch tires, or maybe 47s havent decided yet
