Hey all,

Has anyone have an experience with rear 4 link conversion as the following links?
and what are the impressions

does anyone knows 3 or 4 link kit for front?

thanks
Guy

Looks better than some I've seen...

droop will still be limited by shock length ?
i think the rig they use in those pics has a 6" lift.
it would be interesting to drive and see how it goes, but this time im not going first. not keen to drill through the chassis rails.

[jimny_timmy]

Longer shocks are easy... Commo shocks are too long already lol

[Jezza86]

Yeh then spring retainers required so the spring is the shortest bit.
I wanna see ttheir idea od stable

Aren't you guys lacking rear roll stiffness as it is??

[Jezza86]

im not, but in general most jimnys are.

[31zook]

Jimnys have good roll stiffness, for road use. And off road the rear seems about right.

Buy it and let us know how it feels? I think it would drive under itself and be spooky on hills.

That bracket that requires drilling the chassis would be so much better designed if it accepted a square u-bolt or two to clamp it to the chassis instead...

Yeh that would be a great idea then the bracket could move around while your driving

[alien]

How? Doesn't it pick up a factory bolt hole at the far end? (Screws up from the bottom). That would locate it laterally, then the U-bolt would clamp it to the chassis.

Just saying, wouldn't take much more thought to better engineer to avoid drilling the chassis.

[Jezza86]

Nah it bolts up further back on the chassis then the origional rear arm mounts
It has to because otherwise its not 4 link.
The lower arms use the origional mount

[Jezza86]

Can you imagine how popular a larger then stock, cheap fuel tank would be!

Like weld it on?

[alien]

I was thinking more so it was reversible given next to no jimnys on here are engineered. But a bolt on solution without drilling/welding would also make it more attractive for people to fit themselves (then again that may not be a good thing).

I think how it's mounted isn't as important as is it necessary in the first place. Considering the rear arms/bushes of a jimny provide more travel than the spring design can use, and the Jimnys I've seen suffered from inadequate rear roll stiffness, I'd say this is a pointless part.
