im jk todd, i doubt my own fab skills.
After looking at your design, my idea will not work. The mount is not the same distance away from the pivot point throughout it's 90 degrees of movement. That means the cables would bind. Sorry my idea will not work.
That rear coil lift and cranking the front t-bars will give you some added height to run larger tires. Ask rocksurfer or maybe jimbo (I know, I know) about how to make IFS work off road. Especially rocksurfer.
Ahem! Still not a bad idea. You could put some clips on one end of the cable, so that when it is in the upright position, you can clip it in, so it isn't wobbly, and then when you want to lower it, you just unclip the cables, and then lower the arm. Biggest thing I don't like about those kinda mounts, is it makes a great ankle/knee buster when its down. Whether you're digging in the back, hanging out on the tailgate, or just working around the truck. I'd look around and see if I could find a factory swing out tire carrier for it, at the junkyard or something they're decently stout, and can hold up to a 35" tire, just need to extend the mounting studs a bit.
i wrote BD first then realized he wrote RS, i was THINKIN Gof you though!and yea, tah or a mount off of a kia sportage, same kinda mount...
I KNEW I was forgetting someone! Sorry BD.
so BD, any tips on makin the IFS more trailable?
ok, cool, what do you mean about bracing the fornt end though? gotta pic to illustrate?
what HELL are those two bars connecting to the bottom of both A-Arms?!
thanks for the smooch I miss you too !
pretty sure those are on everything, or its a traction bar becausee of his 4" lift...
haha i love how you were the first to notice and address that i purposely did it to see who would say something.
ok so inside the green circle? and are those the stock A-arms?
ok, so what do you recommend reinforcing it with then?
