What is the point of "fluting" the links? Just for ****s and giggles?

 

[zukiscott]

YEP

It does not add or take away strength, and what little weight it takes off is not enough to matter.

I really like this build Did I see weight jacks on those springs?

 

[ridered3]

If I end up keeping my CJ7, I plan to use some of your mounts etc to do my rear four link. only time will tell I reckon, but really like the build.

Thanks zukiscott for all the pictures!

I would not let this :afro: build me a bicycle!





But I would let him build me a bad ass Jeep. Thanks for your help with the Jeep.

 

[Last Rebel]

Aw, look it's the crab apple. Probably the biggest heep I,ve ever built. Naw, just kidding. This is really nice jeep,built for a really cool Friend. IT turned out to be a fantastic RIDE.

 

[Last Rebel]

No weight jack's. Those are the studs that hold the small plates inside the coil spring. It hold the springs on their mounts top and bottom. Hoptis answered your question doctordick. Oh, and I like your WILLIYS WAGON.

 

[zukiscott]

OHHH THEY COMIN MAN, thems just the MOCK UP PIECES

What are your link lengths in the rear?

Ah hell I done forgot, ........Drew will have that info in his computer brain though ;D

I will try & get some more pics sometime this week

 

[Last Rebel]

The length of the rear lower links are 34" from center to center of bolt hole. The aluminum link is 28" end to end. The uppers are 70% of the lowers. I think they are 28.750" if I remember, but i would have to pull a tape to tell for sure. I'm so busy with measurements for the front and trying to get it all stuffed under it I can't remember all the crap that went on in rear. I hope this helped you out.
