So, your upward travel is still the same, while giving you more downward travel, and more clearance. Very cool.

I tell you what guys, you make work fun! That mod really cleaned up the axle. Almost makes you wonder why Jeep just doesn't do that in the first place.

Absolutely fantastic show guys👍 I did this too the dana35 and then three weeks later changed out the 35 for the 8.25 that's under the XJ now. I did however do this modification too the 8.25 while it was on jack stands. I used the old bracket just flipped upside down. Thanks for another kick ass show🍻 cheers.

Wouldn't that shorten the shock length significantly and make you have to purchase shorter shocks so that they don't bottom out

How many inches did the mount move up? This would help retain stocks shocks with leaf springs that gave 3" of lift?

Hey Guys, I have a STOCK Height XJ and I'm wanting to LIFT it 3.5" with the RE Kit. I'm trying to be low budget and I don't want to have to buy NEW SHOCKS for the lift as I just bought new shocks for my stock Ride Height. If I did this MOD will it give my current shocks enough room? In other words, has anyone ever measured STOCK Length SHOCKS to those needed for a 3.5" lift. How much longer are they?

@PabstBoys

8 жыл бұрын

Well. you'll never bottom them out, but they'll limit your downward travel. Never measured for that, but the worst that could happen is you blow your shocks and have to buy new ones. I'd say giv'er for now till you can afford replacements. Cheers Bud!

In the zooooooneee - tommy nice work guys, but wouldnt it be more efficient for the shocks if you positioned it closer to the center of the axle; where it is closer to being perpendicular to the axle itself? but it would also make it alot stiffer though, i think

@PabstBoys

8 жыл бұрын

The opposite actually. would be over leveraged and make it rocky side to side. The other problem would be that the shock would be too short to fit perpendicular. Good question though. Cheers Bud!!

What if you put the bracket on the top of the axle? So kind of just flip it and weld it on the top instead of on the bottom? I feel like that'll give it even more clearance, the only issue I see is possible bottoming out the shock if you have a lot of up travel.

I cut the old bracket off and then got a 2.5" (dana 35) hole saw to reuse the factory. Free mod's are the best mods!

Question: Why does the manufacturer put the shock brackets so far down? On my Land Cruiser it's similarly so low. What's the advantage?

@PabstBoys

8 жыл бұрын

Stock ride hight is a lot lower. you can fit a much longer shock in a stock vehicle with the bracket down so low. With our lift, the leafs are nearly flat at ride hight so we dont anticipate much up travel, but would like more suspended down travel. This mod allows that. Hope that answered your question...

Yes, It makes the stuff a little shorter, (but we had too much anyway) and the suspended down travel longer.

So I ordered these brackets myself, I havent installed them yet. What size lift are you running and what size shocks with it? i have 4.5-6" rough countrys right now and im worried that with too much preload it may shorten the life of the shock itself.

Nothing will diminish the performance of your shocks more than who you got them from, but you might wanna check the min. travel point and make sure that your bump stops, stop them before they cram up in and blow out the seals in your shocks.

If you do this your shocks will bottom out too early limiting your up travel and damaging the shock internals.

@MSpeedThree

blackened 1 in that case your shocks will be too short for the application and will be at full extension before you reach full spring articulation. This will negate your travel gain from the lift and put stress on the shock internals eventually destroying the shock. Long story short you need the correct shock for the application or you will run into problems. This video = bad advice.

@MSpeedThree

blackened 1 moving the shock mount that much with the setup they have will essentially make your rear suspension not work. You’ll have about an inch and a half of up travel before it bottoms out. I hope you do this mod to your Jeep.
