Bill's 1 Ton TJ Build
Bill3753:
I don't really see the point in that. I made it tailored for my build in a way Clayton was unable to offer. If I was going to sell it and buy something different I would have just bought the Poly Performance 4 link kit and built it all to my specs anyways.

I really like that it worked out this way. I built it the way I wanted specific to my TJ with the lift height/axle/tire combo I am running while using their arms. Not a bad combo in my mind at all.

Pics?
Bill3753:
The pictures are the ones I just posted, lol. It doesn't look much different from the way Clayton sets them up, but I set it up with different angles and frame locations. I was able to maximize the triangulation of the lower links this way. Other factors on all changes were considered as well.
Here are some updates. Finally was able to flex it out tonight. Everything worked great with no binding or problems. After testing it all out, I was able to weld about 60% of the brackets up. I don't have any pictures of the welding as my camera battery died and I didn't have my spare charged. Anyways, here ya go...
Yes, I put a jack stand on a jack to get it all the way to full compression...
First set are of it on the floor driver's side and full bump on passenger. Last few are full droop on the floor both sides. I also flexed it the oppisite way of the first few pictures and additionally with both sides at full bump.
Yes, I will definatly need limiting straps and bump stops, but I already was planning for them.

is the 14bolt going to get a shave
Bill3753:
Yes. The ring gear I have for it has been turned from 10.50" to 10.05". This will allow me to cut the bottom of the case off and weld a flat plate to it. This should save me 2", maybe a little more, of ground clearance at the differential housing.
