Installed my custom front long arm suspension (pics)
 

Did my install this weekend, this is 4.5" lift and 32's...

Big problems now are too much travel, need to bump stop the front for uptravel or trim more. I also need longer shocks, they limit downtravel at this point.

Good stuff Fookle. Is that kit specific for your 4.5 lift or does it have a range? I am going to make a set.

P.S. Hopefully picking up an XJ D44 rear tomorrow!!

My brother in law ran the kit at about 7.5" and a local is also running it at 7.5"

RIght so on your truck is the geometry correct or does your axle have angle issues?

Re: Installed my custom front long arm suspension (pics)
 

It's pretty close, I have about 6-7 degrees castor, and the pinion angle I can't remember, but I have no vibrations...

I think that the lower arms are 3' long before notching (I can confirm that if it helps you). Also the upper link tabs are welded onto the links at a 55 degree angle. The upper strap needs to be set on at a little of an angle to clear the housing of the differential. Mine was welded on straight (the original design) and i had to grind a little to make it clear.

I thought you already had that installed? I'd like to see more pics if you have them. I'd also like to see pics after you upgrade the shocks. Aren't the shocks what stops the suspenion down-travel on those? ??? I know on mine if I disco the sway and shocks I can jack up the body and the springs will pop right out. :S

I haven't had the chance to buy longer shocks yet. Last weekend I converted to the loop to loop style shock so I am ready for some 27" extendeds now.
