If you have been thinking about building your own kit from scratch, this is an excellent Triangulated 4 link kit for the rear of your Jeep. This kit is a "builders" kit which is good for the guy who wants to do it himself.
We have figured out all the mounting points for proper geometry (weight transfer, rear steer and minimal anti-squat, etc.) to make your rig a top notch crawler with awesome articulation AND handle great on the street too!
The main frame control arm mounts are pre-welded to a "C" section of steel to beef up the frame and help distribute the load. You simply slip each mount over the frame and weld them in place! The kit is designed to attach to the frame next to your stock (or aftermarket) transfer case skid plate.
This rear kit is also perfect for moving your rear axle back, stretching your wheelbase to the Magic 100"+ when used with our EXT or COMP gas tanks.
For you guys converting from leaf springs, you can say goodbye to axle wrap and all the issues associated with it!
Kit Includes:
- Heavy Duty 3/16" thick laser cut and CNC bent brackets & mounts. Each mount is cut at an angle to keep the Johnny Joints in a "neutral" position so they do not max out and cause damage to the joint in those CRAZY articulation spots on the trail.
- Genuine Currie forged 1-1/4" shank Johnny Joints, at both ends of the control arm! (which are greasable & rebuildable)
- Tough thick-wall DOM control arm tubing that can be cut to any length (so you decide how much stretch you want).
- Control arm inserts (bungs) are machined with LEFT or RIGHT hand threads to make fine length adjustments of each control arm (for pinion angle, castor, etc.) easy.
- Kit includes top quality Grade 8 mounting hardware.
- Kit can be used with coilover shocks or regular coil springs.
- Simple triangulated 4 link design eliminates the need for a rear track bar.
- The mounts in this kit are universal and can be cut or trimmed to be mounted in any position on any Jeep TJ or YJ.
- The forward mounted control arm brackets are welded directly to the frame and DO NOT tie into the transfer case skid plate. This allows unobstructed access to the transmission and transfer case for service.
- Can be used with 12" to 14" travel shocks and ideal for running bigger tires.
We recommend our outboard mounted rear shock kit (RSM-1000) to make relocation (of the spring and shock, if using a coilover type shock) easier and provide better shock dampening.
NOTES: This kit requires cutting & welding for maximum performance and articulation! Depending on your final spring rate and shock set up, it may require a rear sway bay for more on-road stability. More than likely, brake lines will need to be lengthened or re-located. A four wheel alignment is also recommended after installation.
