Finally got around to installing the rear 4 link. Being that I hate to work on vehicles it took a breakage to get me motivated enough to do it. Anyways I used 2 1/4 .375 lowers and set it up for 67.8% anti-squat on my 106" wheelbase. On the really steep stuff it was still neutral in the front on climbs. I drove it up Mt. Lemmon and back. Wheeled it and I will say it is much quieter than bending, breaking leafs. A great upgrade if you are sick of damaged leafs even when running a torque arm.

I was over at Chimney Rock trail before I caught up with you guys. I was out late Saturday and Sunday night at 3 feathers. My TJ buddy liked playing on the 3 Feathers area. I actually like night wheeling myself and ended up dragging a Ford Ranger up at and past 3 Feathers late Sunday night.

Yea, I just moved the steering to the rear, behind the axle about a month ago. It was in front of the rear axle and was hardly noticeable. I then broke the rear leafs out of it about 2 weeks ago and had to accelerate the install of the 4 link before I got all of the components rounded up.
I still don't have the right shocks on it, correct brake lines and coils. That is next if something else doesn't take precedence. Always something on these toys. ;D

Nice, finally some worth while tech in the IH section! ;D
Do you still have the old Torque arm? I'm interested if the price is right.

Thanks Slick. Hopefully we all can wheel together again soon. Hutch, I ripped it off the rig sometime ago while wheeling, so that is why the springs gave it up on our last IH run together. If you haven't fingered it out yet, I hate to work on this pig. I did get 35s for the beater Scout though. It will need a torque arm too. Maybe we should build some up. Maybe you might want to consider a 4 link with your leafs, especially the way you drive. ;D
