I love this thing. It's like the semi-ugly girl in high school that has a hot body but nobody wants to date but she knows how to get down and every time you want to move onto a hotter, new girl, you keep going back because that body is bangin' and she does that little thing to you that none of the other girls know how to do.

Holy shit, you just described my late teens early 20’s!!

This is a rad SUV. It has progressed a lot over the years. Lots of out of the box thinking!

I’m modeling an arm that’s 33 inches long, 15.5 to the first shock and 19.5 to the second shock. I might move my first shock closer to the pivot to give myself more room for a bigger second shock but I don’t see this thing ever needing more than a 2.5 2.5 combo. Thank you

That's what I thought when I first built mine... ill never need more than a 2.5/3.0. But here i am with 4.4s im glad I made the shock spread 6". It squeaks in the 4.4 amd a 3.0 coilover spring. The 4" your planning on will be pretty tight imo. If your worried about over ratio'ing the coilover its fine. Mines well over 2:1 and I only need a 500lb spring

It was supposed to be a mild street truck while I built a different one

Couldn't machine top caps down some to clock them?

Could yeah. Was an option but I didn't want to open them up or pay for the service. Might not have noticed but theres alot of value engineering ive done on this thing to keep cost down as much as possible

You're not wrong, my bronco is for going fast and this is the family cruiser, but I know first hand how plans change. You talked me into it, I'll model the arm with a 6 inch spread thank you.

If it limits your travel, run a longer shock
