  1. Speaker pop when vehicle is off

    Using the Kicker 200.4 I had to switch from using DC Offset to 12v turn on in order to eliminate the popping heard through the speakers after vehicle shut down.

  3. Anyone find trailing arm skids / armor yet? My driver's side took a good hit this past weekend.

    acfabb.com has released their’s Rancho also has a solid looking set due out any time now
  4. Angel on my shoulder... Les Schwab (Fabtech 3") Lift Fail!!

    most of the front suspension is nylon locking fasteners and the only reason is speed of assembly
  5. Exploring off-the-shelf tie rod upgrades

    If it makes you feel any better it is only a single bushing (and an install tool) 😜 On a serious note, I am in agreement that the JKS sleeves and rack bushing (if lifted 2”+) is a solid solution. Keep a spare inner tie rod and go have fun. $450’ish for peace of mind
  6. 4-Link Rear Suspension Questions

    The bracket changes the roll center / stiffness. As for the aftermarket bar, assuming it leverages spherical, JohnnyJoint, or similar ends will free up available articulation not necessarily add any. The OE rubber or clevite bushings are better for absorbing NVH than they are twisting or flexing.
  7. 4-Link Rear Suspension Questions

    The rzeppa style joint on these drive shafts is much more tolerant of angle variation to vibration however is more likely to tear the boot and shorten overall joint lifespan at the angles created by >2” lift (Jeep experience). Use adjustable upper links to control pinion angle and adjustable...

    100% agree but he is wholly reliant on “little guys” like this backing down and not being cash strapped well enough to do battle After all, itis the American way 😁

    So I’ll caveat my response with, this is the first IFS vehicle I have ever wheeled. 30 years wheeling Jeeps of every kind. I felt as though the Bronco front sus stayed near neutral or in the mid range of travel on steep climbs. As throttle was applied the vehicle stayed very flat and even in...

    Interesting… will have to model that out to see how it effects ad/as number as well as pinion sweep. As for another thing I noticed during the Moab trip, the Bronco never felt like the front end was unloading even on the steepest of climbs. Unlike my Jeeps where stock geometry has quite a bit of...

    Hmm will have to do some digging to see if their SS alloy will offer a greater shear strength vs the F150 at the larger diameter. Certainly an interesting solution.

    Correct, no tank drop would require cutting the pass frame side bolts and losing the flag nut (bolt in this case). RJ does not include bolts with the CAs.

    Yes, skids here are an absolute must if you intend to work the ledges
  16. Rockjock Rear Control Arms

    I sure did! Running Zone 1” up front and the top plate from the Zone 1” in the rear with 0.8” trimmed off both both f/r stops in the solid zone, 1” in compression zone front, and 1.25” in compression zone rear. No coil bind and no fender contact. Biggest problem discovered in Moab was dragging...

    Ball center widths are different (front to rear), I believe in each case the end with silver nut (LH thread) goes toward rear. I did drop the fuel tank for my install as I was also installing an OE skid at the same time. After having done it that way, I would do it again even if I were not...

    I am not against spherical rod ends but to be clear, your $5m TT get torn apart and gone through after every single outing. Things get replaced frequently and checked even more frequently. Most have “teams” and sponsored budgets. TT are extraordinary pieces of equipment but may not be a great...
