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. |

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

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?? |

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... |

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. |

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 |

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. |
