Excellent video timing, am shaving my rear today and mocking up. Looking forward to the front set up vid next!

[@WarPaintOffroad]

Heck yea! Front video will probably come out in 2 weeks.

[@TomSmith-nx3hx]

Nice job. You explained everything to just the right level where it is both juicy and simple enough. Thank you for sharing!

[@WarPaintOffroad]

I’m glad that was your thought! It’s hard to not leave people hanging..

[@StormbornJKU]

Great in depth video explaining all the basics you need to know, and with a bit of added research and the right tools I feel like anybody can do this in their own home garage. I myself plan on doing so; just need to get that garage first 😂

[@WarPaintOffroad]

Haha. Heck yea man!

[@tommyolson2258]

Looking good.

[@WarPaintOffroad]

We are getting there!

Great video Sir! Thank you for sharing.

[@WarPaintOffroad]

Thanks for the support!

you got your own Fabricating Tribe going on there. you could make some money by building JL frames. with government restrictions on MPG, Jeep had to make the JL frame 1/8" thick with high carbon steel. that limits us JL owners from being able to weld on thicker brackets to the frame.

[@WarPaintOffroad]

Yea! Isn’t that crazy!

estou fazendo um projeto parecido com o seu aqui no Brasil , acontece que infelizmente não temos informações que ajuda eu projetar essa suspensão

[@timothycarley4223]

What keeps the nose of the differential from rotating up and down during acceleration?

[@WarPaintOffroad]

It won’t move because it’s a hard link on top and bottom. Typically that only will happen with leaf springs as the springs want to twist or wrap.

[@vicgustafson8514]

Great video. I thought the link length is supposed to have a 25% difference between the top and bottom links. Maybe that's for the front?

[@WarPaintOffroad]

You are exactly right. That is for the front. You do that so you maintain caster angle of the front axle and now mess with your steering. On the rear you want them to be about the same length so the pinion stays pointed at the transfer case as it cycles.
