When it comes to the evo kit you show in the last picture there, do you have number for that design, instant center anti squat and stuff?
:cheesy: What? I just run the kit just like I have many before it, I didn't design it and certainly don't concern myself with numbers, just how well it works or doesn't.
Being the mounting loaction on the frame end look to almost be in the same plane very little seperation vs the axle end on that kit from pictures i have seen probably 6-8" seperation also upper arm being 8" shorter then lower?
As I said, the shot in question was taken at a full bump. You know, as in the axle was making full contact with the bump stops above. I took it while doing a cycling test. Also, I should reiterate that this kit was installed using high clearance frame brackets and even axle mounts on the lower control arms. You've never "seen" anything else like before because there's nothing else like it out there.
Just curious how it reacts under acceleration and breaking and hil climbs vs competitor design, since i dont have actual measurement of the evo stuff i cant just toss the number in a calculator!
You have numbers from other manufacturer that you can toss into a calculator and will actually tell you how well they will react under acceleration and breaking and hill climbs? Can you post them up? Seriously, I would love to have them as well as the calculations. Up until now, I've just been going off of experience, how things feel and what I've actually seen work or not.
As stated i am not set on either design 3/4 link i am mearly seeking everyones opinions from experience!
And, as stated, that's all I'm sharing with you, my experiences based on what I've tested and physically seen. You can come up with your own opinions based on it. :yup:
I realize your 4 link long arm vs RK 3 link doesnt dictate the amount of flex im sure with no shocks both would flex the same amount from what i see in pictures its just a matter of handling between the two distinct designs and the strength of having two uppers vs 1 upper!
You really can be so sure of that just from pictures you've seen? You're way better at this than me.
Evo design is very much the same as Clayton design with the only real difference your upper arm is shorter and lower arm is longer to keep it all tucked up tidy they have there lower mounted on bottom of frame directly below the upper mount both designs would perform the same from the looks of it only thing that comes down to is the numbers then gotta look at the math
Not even close. Maybe with the EVO Double D kit as it has a traditional under the frame rail lower control arm mount but really, that's about it. With a really tall lift, this is the better way to go as at that point, it'll help restore your suspension geometry to be closer to stock. The kit I have, the one with high clearance brackets were made to have an distinct advantage on the rocks. You just can't install them on any JK as it requires custom high clearance axle mounts as well. If you've got "numbers" that can mathematically tell you how well something will perform, please share them as the only way I've been able to determine how well things work is the old fashioned and antiquated, get in the Jeep and test it out.
