Time to build a 3 link long arm suspension with crossmember for the Jeep XJ. Also dial in Caster, Camber and Pinion Angle.
I've run short arms for 10 years and now that I've got the green light on some long arms I'm building a new crossmember and three link setup using DOM tubing, 1.25" and 7/8ths chromoly rod ends along with poly bushings to try and find some good offroad and on road performance.
Its an ambitious and involved project for me and my basic workshop but hopefully the end results are worth it.
Thanks for watching,
Mike
