-RK Rear Coil Conversion-

[emr1101]

Here are a few larger Pics:

I might be crazy, but the rear LCAs appear to be like one of them has a bend on the axle end while the other one has the bend at the frame end, or maybe im just seeing things?

Looks good.
Do you find you have any clearance issue with the truss being so tall?

I know it looks a little funny in the pic, but the lower arms have two bends in them. the first one is up towards the frame mount to wide'n the arms and the other is for ground clearence.

And the rear truss fits perfect! No issues. :thumbup:

Yeah all of the RK LA's now have bends for clearances. That changed right after I got my striaght LA's...dang it!

Looks sick. In for the flex pics.

BTW, does it use the stock spring perches for the coils?

It should according to RK but mine were not even close. So I took some spare spring perches that I had in my tool box and welded them next to the factory perch and them welded the lower coil spring perch to both of them. Now the bump stops line up and compress prefectly stright even when it flexes.

how are the highway manners being that now you are on coils in the rear instead of the leafs?

I am looking to do the same kit for my front/rear setup on the XJ, just not sure if its a worthwhile investment, being that I do more of the exploration/overland driving then actual rock crawling & trails.

Feel free to elaborate if you have anything in mind...

thanks
