Well, it's looking like I'm going to need hydro as well on my build lol. Was wondering if u had a list on where u got the fittings and hoses? Also did u do anything different with the pump?? Thanks again for all the amazing info. All the best
@KBWheelin16 күн бұрын
I got everything from Psc. All the fitting and everything came in their kit. You will need either a new steering box with ports or have your existing one drilled and taped. I did put a different pump on but that was because of the engine swap. Give Psc a call and they can help you out with everything. Good luck on your build.

I stretched mine 8 inches with just leafs. (Xj and waggy). I after wheeling it hard for two years I decided I’m gonna link it. 4/3 like yours. Doing the low cog now. (I was already low for leafs as I use SOA on factory. I have tons of flex and I stay low and stable). Gonna do the 15in stretch and get some more body and frame in there, I wasn’t super happy at 102-3 on 40s. It’s stable side to side for sure but tall obstacles are uncomfortable. I’m gonna hope for 112-113

Thanks for showing them turn with a little bit of resistance. Another video i watched is near identical to this, but his results were knuckles that turned with no effort. I was expecting mine to turn effortlessly with 1 finger but mine have a bit of resistance. I think I'll finish reassembling it and see how it goes.

I have been running them at all 4 corners for years now. Have not had any issues with the design, nor any issues with it leaking (although most people have them leak). I will say when pulled them apart to re-valve they are filled with metal, all the machined edges are very sharp, and nothing was deburred. I rebuilt them when re-valving and cleaned up a lot of the machined surfaces. I am happy with them, not too many issues. I will say their customer support is shit, I have called to ask questions about accessories/springs and the guy who picks up was being an asshole for some reason. FOA has literally had the same quality and reputation since they came on the market. They do nothing to change yet still remain in business. If they were to deburr the parts, break the machined edges, and clean the metal shavings out I personally think they would have an awesome product for pretty much the same price as they are charging now. Would I buy from them again? Maybe. Would I buy any other brand if I had the money? Yes. FOA is cheap because you get what you pay for, if you want a set of shocks that you can bolt on and forget call Accutune.

So, I’m stumbling on your video. I’ve been on tons for a couple years but on leafs. I’m looking at doing my 3 link front soon. Currently due to leafs I have the drag link to the through bolt on my knuckle, and underneath a flat pitman arm. it has actually worked very well for me to clear the leafs and then clear whatever I have above. I’m curious why you’re not putting the heim on the bottom of the pitman as well as the inside of the pocket on the knuckle. If you have a double shear and a capture spacer you should be fine on the bottom. Just curious.
@andycocchia42022 ай бұрын
7:30 if you went down on the pitman arm and the knuckle you would have more clearance and likely a good angle for your trac bar and drag link. Also keeping things lower helps your up travel.
@KBWheelin2 ай бұрын
Honestly it was just about everything living happy with each other. If the heim was on the bottom of the pitman arm it would have hit the axle housing on uptravel because of the angle of the box as well as how far forward I moved the axle. I could have tilted the steering box back to flatten the steering box out but it just created new problems and a lot of work. Ever set up is allitle different and this was the best combination of everything on this build until I got full hydro. Also everything is double sheer. I think I said it in the video but don’t remember I welded a bracket onto the pitman arm to make it double sheer as well as doing the same thing with the knuckle.
@andycocchia42022 ай бұрын
@@KBWheelin I do remember you saying that everything was double sheer, and of course I understand they’re all different. And obviously I’m outside looking in so I have no more than just an opinion lol How has it worked so far? I too have hydro assist for now. How’s the upper link on the driver side with the driveshaft? I’m thinking of doing it on the passenger side for that reason. I’ll be doing a 5.3 so there’s also header clearance etc on that side. Just curious how it’s worked out for you.

So how did you get from not having any shims to get preliminary preload to adding the crush sleeve eliminator stack in final assembly? Wouldn’t you have to be taking the pinion in and out a few more times in final assembly to get the shims correct?
@KBWheelin2 ай бұрын
This has a crush sleeve eliminator in it and is what sets your hearing preload. The shims behind the pinion are what set the pinion depth into the ring gear. So no you wouldn’t really need to remove the pinion to adjust the bearing preload shims on the crush sleeve eliminator. But yes you would for the pinion depth, hope that makes sense.
@KBWheelin2 ай бұрын
To get the pre load with the crush sleeve eliminator I take the full stack and then start reducing the number of shims to gain preload then swap shims to fine tune it.

Been watching your videos on your yj build. Got a question about steering. I did barns high steer got good angles on my drag link track bar. My question is ive got equal steering left to right but im about 3/4” from the steering stops. Im being limited from the travel in the steering gearbox. Still have a stock 89 yj box that i drilled for hydraulic assist. Any idea on how to get me to hit the steering stops?
@KBWheelin3 ай бұрын
What front axle are you using? Only reason I ask is cause with say super duty axles they don’t have adjustable stops and will get mushroomed out. The steering travel is determined by the length of the pitman arm what hole are you using on the high steer arm for your drag link? I often come up 1/8 to 1/4 inch short of the factory stops cause like I said the stops are typically hammered so I weld a nut on the end to build up the stops or drill and tap for a bolt to make adjustable stops.

Running a o6 ford Dana 60. The barns high steer only have 2 holes. One for the tie rod and one for the drag link. The link is in the front hole for the crossover steering.

@BrennenRutten-q6y the big thing with them is making sure the distance from the center of the ball joint to the center of the hole your using matches the length of the pitman arm you are using. Did you change the angle of the box?

The extra cooling offered by the louver is enticing but what about rain water? Is that a problem with the louver? I trimmed the fender liners a bit on my Jeep JK and installed a thermostatic switch with relay that cycles the fan on low when under hood temps get high and that helped tremendously. Especially since it will cycle off and on when parked during hot soak while in the grocery store etc. My Jeep is an 07 so the catalytic converters heat up the engine bay way more than I would like but I'll be doing something about those when replacing the clutch in the next 20Kish miles. Maybe sooner if I get irritated enough about the heat. Thanks for the video.

So does the thick red wire go to Positive on Battery, and you said you combined thick blk/white and thin blk, so do those 2 go to Negative on battery? and on the red/blk/green/yellow wires.

Since I have no lockers i can snip off green and yellow and by the thick red and white i can snip those 2 connections that are for the Front/Rear Lockers?
@KBWheelin4 ай бұрын
Yes the thick blk/white combine with the thin blk wire to would go to ground. Blk is ground. Red/Yellow is acc power. Blue/white is the power from dash lights so your switches lite up.

That’s awesome! Thank you for your support! Sounds like an awesome build, I think double triangulated 4 links are great and has less to no flex steer. Only reason I didn’t do it on this build was because I have place on running a doubler set up and didn’t want to have issues with the crossmember I would have to build for the links being in the way. Always go thru a 4 calculator to check everything but I pretty much have always ran same length uppers and lowers on a double triangulated 4 link

why not use the press to press the ring into the locker assembly?.. I am curious.. some people say pressing the ring into the locker is the right way.. other people say whacking the ring into the locker assembly with a dead blow hammer is the right way.. other people heats the ring to 200F and freezed the locker assembly.. other people use the bolts to drive the ring into the locker body (although some people say this is not a good idea as it could deform the locker assembly flange where the ring rests... Thanks!
@KBWheelin6 ай бұрын
Ok personally I feel like it all depends on the situation and how tight the ring gear is to the carrier. In this case is wasn’t overly tight so a few hits with a dead blow was all it needed. I don’t ever like pressing them on is the right way cause I had a ring gear shatter once and just never have done it since. Now preheating the ring gear is the right way for sure when it is overly tight. Hope that all makes sense lol
