Lookin sick man. Are you going to box those uppers in or leave them exposed so you can watch them working?

I just read your thread, great work. This will definitely be a well built rig. Couple questions on the spec's;
How wide did you go on the diff's?
Length of wheelbase?
Belly height?
And what do you figure it'll weigh in at?

It'll be great to see this on the trail.

defenitly boxin them in, might leave an access door to adjust the seperation if needed, thanks Kurt

the diffs are full width, the rear is at 78'' wide with the tires, and the front will be a bit wider im sure,
belly is at 25'' right know and i still need to build a skid, and it will be flat on the bottom, which isnt easy on a cherokee,
wheelbase will be 111''
weight will be determined at the end when i way it,LOL
thank's Andrew....!

Wow. Your going to have some serious seperation of your frame links.

[xjkevin]

do you mean verticle sep, or width wise.

[dirtman13]

verticle

[xjkevin]

the 4 link calc called for 8'' verticle seperation, i have the option of like 5'' to 9'', without enough verticle seperation the pinion angle would go crazy throuout the cycle, and i have the uppers and lowers out as far as i could get them, to keep the flex steer down, dont want the wheels to move in and out to much when flexing just straight up and down..
