Front 4 link...

[monkeyevil]

I know there isn't much available for a true 4-link long arm in an XJ. I'm in the process of building my wife a new DD XJ and decided to long arm the front. Mostly for ride quality.

Because the only trails her Jeep sees are Michigan two tracks, the major downsides of a radius arm setup don't really matter. So I was first thinking of being lazy and going that route. More and more I've been thinking about a true 4 link, and wondered if there was any interest out the for a kit.

I don't imagine that JcrOffroad will ever sell a full lift kit, we really don't like selling things we don't build in house (springs, shocks, blah blah.) I'm thinking the long arm kit would include link brackets (weld-on, MAYBE bolt-on), joints, arms, and a track bar with bracket.

You would be on your own for springs, shocks, brake lines, etc... I know I like being able to piece together my own parts, unsure if that is shared.

Still just in infant stages, and I'm rambling. I looked tonight I and I know I can fit all the components, but I still need to run the numbers and see how the geometry works out.

that would be very cool! I think aalot of poeple have been looking foward to a triangulated four link (hint hint)

Wouldn't be a problem except a triangulated front (with no trac bar I assume.) Means you would need full hydro unless you don't mind bump steer.

ok cool forgot about this post - a replacement X member integrated belly skid would be sweet...

 

[redneckboarder]

i just want a 4 link that costs less than RK and is for a manual unlike BDS

 

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

any ideas?

 

[tharlanjr]

I would like a 4 link also.

Lower mounts should be worked into a replacement crossmember with a build it skid.

but ont that doesnt tie into the trans mount like TNT. that makes it a pain in the butt to service the trans

if you can beat rock krawler's pure beefcake arms and joints and make it cheaper, and have a modular belly skid like BDS/full traction (NOT one piece like TNT) i'll buy it for my next XJ for sure.

oh yea, BUMP.

Still waiting!:wave1:

This idea is officially done, we won't be offering any sort of 4-link front suspension. Sorry.
