Re: 2wd swap
It's does good til full droop.
But it's well beyond the advertised bag travel.

Re: 2wd swap
Guess you're not a mind reader.

Re: 2wd swap
Nice.
What was the outcome on the rear link bar/bushing combo?

Re: 2wd swap
The bushing fits with grease. Rolled a edge of the urethane May have to hone them a bit. Still on the fence about the 2 link...

Re: 2wd swap
I would skip the poly bushed front pivots if you decide on the 2-link. I'd use a spherical joint for less bind & more articulation than possible w/poly.

![]() Pretty basic static drop for now. Unsure if I'll do full bag swap or just helpers @ this point. The plan was full swap but it sits good & it's nice not having to clearance the bejeezus out of everything. It high centered this past weekend pulling that load in the pic as it sits. Heavier loads will need some help.

Re: 2wd swap
I just welded the ends of the flip brackets to the leaf pads on the housing. Kept them from moving. Did the welds where I could easily buzz it off if/when desired.

Re: 2wd swap
Rotor fits in the wheel center. Was really concerned they wouldn't.
But the rotor got swallowed up in a 20" wheel.

Re: 2wd swap
11.9 according to the order. Powerstop rotors. Seems like enough room for a pad swap with out taking the wheels off. Ha !

Re: 2wd swap
Yes. Original plan was 18 inch wheels.
But they backordered til end of August so got the 20's and the rotor looks silly in there
