Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey guys, jus wanting to know is anyone can tell me y i hav to do a 50mm drop hanger on the front for when i put my rears up front?????? dose it hav sumthin to do with pinion angle???? or wat cos no one seem to beable to tell me anythin, any info is a help


CHEERS TY

Pinion angle a bit but mainly the castor will be out so it will most likely drive like crap but i have herd of it being dome without the drop hanger and been fine i'm about to do RUF to mine and will trial it on std hangers with no castor wedges.

Drop hangers make fitting high steer easier.
You have less problems with the tierod hitting the chassi.
Also makes your castor and pinion angle better especially if using long shackles.

I have done RUF with both with and without. It always seams to come down to your spring pack combination.

Heres mine RUF with 2" longer shackles no dropped hanger.

So Bubs, The front eye of your springs are in the factory location

yes

thats heeps good guys cheers, much apricated, BUBS how much higher than std is ur front end now with ur rears in the front for the steering arm not to rub on anything?

No lift, the front end is sitting an inch of the factory bump stops at ride height.

My spring hits on the pitman arm and drag link under articulation.

so the point of RUF is to put your shackles on an angle therefore allowing greater droop. i have a 75 series and my shackles are straight up and down due to 2 inch lift. RUF and new longer rears will give me same height yet more angle on shackles, is this correct??

Rear springs are longer, so allow more travel and a better ride. Also they will locate your front axle forward a bit, due to the different distances between the eyes and the spring pin.

Layto....

thanks lay80n, thats what i thought. will ruf effect castor etc?? i guess it depends how they are set, ie curve of them? anything else to look out for when doing ruf???

cheers

Front shaft lenght, torque rod needs to be shorter aswell as draglink or if you have crosover/highsteer this isn't a problem i think the diff goes 50mm foward with RUF aswell corect me if i'm wrong

don't know if it will help but here is a few pic's of my RUF

NAT84: wat u done on ya steering ???????

BUBS: how dose the steering go under articulation????? would the angles not be gratier? and dose it bind at all?????

It has a adjustable drop draglink i think this is what you were asking about

the cross over works great, it just needs a longer bumpstop in the drivers side as under full compression the pitman arm binds on the spring.

how does this work? If you only have 1 inch uptravel to work with at ride height, doesn't that mean you will have no spring compression drivers side after extending the bumpstop? Might need a pic to better understand.
