^^^^^^x2. Forgot bout this. At full compression on passenger side you could hit the frame depending on your bumpstop setup and how much travel your shocks allow. Some people notch the frame but most just get the proper Bumpstops to keep this from happening.

Maertz, is it more of a problem at smaller lifts like 3-3.5" and not so much at higher? Can't remember if I saw that somewhere or not.

 

Ok Im getting what you guys are saying now. So where would I be able to figure out what the proper bump stops are that I should be using?

 

Or is this something where I have to take measurements my self by slowly articulating until right before it makes contact?

Cheers

 

Boom you got it right here. Manufacturers can give recommended but this is the best way really.

 

Thank you guys very much you were a tremendous amount of help!!!

I'll post pics of the install and when its complete

 

If you are looking at Synergy components, you might check out the upper trackbar/sector shaft brace also. Then again, if you are going up to a 6" lift, what size tires are you planning on running, and will you be going to hydro?

And since you are raising the front roll center with the new bracket, be sure to raise the rear if it is not already.

 

I will check that out as well. My goal is to prob 37" or 38" KM2's with gas shocks and reservoirs. Raising the roll center... As I said I'm new the whole front end inter-workings what would need to be done/ how do you check the rear?

 

Basically put a raised axle side rear tracbar bracket in. A good bolt on one is teraflex. Easy install and they have them for higher lifts also.

 

Normally on smaller lifts but truly depends on fenders, tire size, and shocks lengths....the higher the lift the larger the tire and shocks (normally) so uptravel becomes the challenge with clearance but with the tons of different ways to build a jeep it will vary.

 

Thats 3.5" too high. Why so much lift for those tires? The 38" KM2's measure about 37", and the 37's are closer to a 35.5" tire. Keep it low so you dont have to worry about swapping so many parts (i.e. long arms, drive shafts)
