Re: Rock Control XJ Suspension
1. Since when does squat/anti-squat have anything to do with the FRONT suspension?? The guy mentions anit-squat in regards to the rear suspension on their ZJ, how are you translating that to the front suspension on an XJ?? Do you even KNOW what anit-squat IS?
2. The only thing similar to Clayton's kit is the arms. Big whoop. They're radius arms using box tubing instead of round. RE was the first to bring the radius arm long-arm design to market, so I guess you could say that everyone else (including Clayton) is just copying RE's original design. To be quite honest, I like the look and design of that RockControl crossmember and mounting system better than Clayton's. The frame mounting design is far more substantial and they include a t'case skid, which IMHO is the biggest "flaw" in Clayton's setups.
Don't get me wrong, other than the lack of t'case protection I think Clayton's kits are top-notch quality stuff. I've never heard even the slightest complaint from anyone with his kits. However, your statements are completely unfounded.
edit: your "edit" proves to me that you don't really understand suspension design or geometry. If you'd really read and comprehended the write-up on RC's ZJ, you'd see that they reduced the amount of anti-squat [in the REAR suspension]. Sounds to me like Clayton put TOO MUCH anit-squat into his ZJ design which caused the rear end to LIFT up under acceleration...
