Highlander's Bronco Upgrades

Man I wish that I could have gone with you. I would like to have seen you climb up Posi Hill. I was afraid that you might end up with the bounce like some other dummy has. LOL!

Anyway, at least it's an easy fix. That's one nice thing about the 4-link, it is easily adjustable for fine tuning things the way you want it. I still want to see it in person.

Any time, just let me know when you get up here and we will hit a trail.

I used the backhoe to twist it up today, and get a final measurement for shocks. I also measured how much it articulates now. Front tire up it goes to 42", and back tire up it goes to 45" (measured from the ground to the lowest point on the tire.) This is with the one rear shock disconnected, but the new ones should work in this range, if I measured right. So here are more poser shots:

Looks awesome! Do you know how high it would go before the 4-link? Just wondering what the gain was?

It looks like you don't get very much rear steer from the pics. How is it in person. When I have a rear stuffed hard, I get some with mine. My tire pushes into the rear of the inner fender pretty hard. I did stretch mine three inches though.

Very little, it is amazing how much less room in the rear fenders that the tires take up now. With the leaf springs they would rub either the front or back depending on how it was twisted. Now it is always in the same spot. I could even move my axle back almost 2" more and it still wouldn't hit.
On the calculator I tried to keep the rollsteer as neutral as possible, but when I increase the AS it will increase a little too but not much.

Good looking flex. Do you have an emergency hooked up?

If you mean emergency brake, yes I still have the stock drum e-brakes hooked up using extended cables from WH.
