Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Yeah, when?, when??? pics, pics....
Thanks for current pics.

Fist off, I applaude anyone trying to get more lift out of their IFS suspension.

On my own rig, I have done the most to maximise the flex from the front end , and left the ride height standard (the 33's help in the height dept)

The tai kit gets the extra lift by basically moving the whole lot down, cross member, bottom arms, and spacers for the upper arms, and links for the torsions etc.

With what you are doing, getting an extra 70mm over the 50 thats normally done, how are you fixing the problem of the front CV angle ?

If I trimmed the rest of my bump stops away, cranked everything I could, I could get 75-100 mm lift over standard, 2 ks down the road the cv's would be screwed.

The tai kit solves the prob by dropping the diff, to keep CV angles within reason.

how are you getting around this problem ?

You may be able to drop the diff 25mm without moving te cross member, which would alow you 75 more lift total, but at 120mm you will habve problems.

And so you shall.
I have completed my soa and ifs mods and it has all gone to plan.
the old pajero has never looked better and I had minimal complications.
The new lift has allowed me to fit 33" muddys with plenty of room to spare. (I fitted my brothers 35" wranglers just to see and had no problems.)

No poblems yet but i will keep this in mind. thanks

Matwelli.
I understand where you are coming from but keep in mind that your truck (unless modified by the use of manual front hubs.) spins the front diff constantly even if 4wd has not been selected.
however the older 80's models didnt have this problem as no center diff was installed.
I am sure that the increased angle ( which dosn't appear that much) of the front cv's will have some sort of effect but I do need new front cv's any way and have been told by a bloke i no that did a similar thing that he had no problems in this area.

however i will keep all you have to say in mind and i guess time will tell the story.
Upon taking on this whole pajero lift idea i did expect to have a few teething problems so if cv's are the biggest I guess i'll have to modify this area too.

Very good job. I agree that time is going to tell the storie. I hope that everything will be ok (cause i thinking doing the same... )
Can you give us a photo that shows the CV's angle now? It's very important to see this...
Cheers

yes a photo would be good.

Let us know how it goes,I have heard of people "clearancing" the cv's with a die grinder to get the last couple of degrees.

How much down travel do you have ?
