got some new parts for the long arm. Almost have everything

All I have to say is DAMN! Those creeper joints are freaking huge! I cant wate to get them installed.

Heading to Dutchs house on Tuesday to cut the brackets up and get them fitted up and ready to weld to the crossmember. Then Ill get the project in full swing

Dear lord baby jesus

Where????:roflmao:

 

[jeepfreak1020]

Holy XXXX XXXX that's huge

Kinda worried now though. as I have to use 2" DOM with those joints, and I hope I can get everything tucked up ok without anything hitting. Well have to see. Hope that big DOM with fit onto my axle brackets!

 

[Kiefer316]

What are you doing for an upper link, Chad.

 

[jeepfreak1020]

Im keeping the uppers I built last summer and doing a Y link set up

 

[YELLAHEEP]

Well....... I really doubt they'll break. Damn those are huge. The Compensator should have joints like that to harness the Rockwells.....

 

[old_man]

Mount them down low to keep the center of gravity down.

 

[in4aride]

Ya they look good with 2"dom

 

[jeepfreak1020]

Well I dont think they will eather lol. BUt now another problem I have is that Im using a ballistic weld on bushing. Well the bushing wont take 2" wide DOM. The biggest it can take is 1.75" DOM. . . . So idk what to do there.

Mount them down low to keep the center of gravity down.

I thought about that, but then they would just be welded to the bottom of my crossmember, so they would hang a good 4-5" below the frame. I would be hitting them all the time then. I want them tucked up into the crossmemer so I can still have a flat belly to slide around on. The arm mounts mould just get mangled under it.

I could just weld them straight to the frame and do almost a midarm set up?
But the thing that made me wonder about that is, the arm would be going in a diff direction then the axle bracket goes. The axle bracket has like a 30 degree turn in. Then arms would be wanting to go against that. And idk if I could do a Y link like that
