Can my Landie do this? What do I need?

[nukblazi]

Right... so... here is a pic of my old daily driver. 2005 Jeep TJ Unlimited Rubicon (with short arms).

How do I get my '96 D110 to the same level? I don't want to get more technical than that. Is this possible? (Yes). What to I need to achieve the same articulation?

This is 4" lift with Rubicon Express Shocks/ Bilstein 5150 shocks and a lot of custom suspension/ steering... 33x12.5x15

You can't get the same flex out of radius arms without going to a three link or similar, plain and simple.

It can and has been done numerous times, but requires a bit of engineering common sense and whether you can actually make it road legal in NSW in this day and age ?????

An alternative would be something like a poor man's three link where you disconnect a pin to allow one half of the 'hockey stick' to pivot like these made by Superior Engineering, who just happen to have some Landy arms in development http://www.superiorengineering.com.a....php?pag_id=24



This is a very old pic, but it'll give you an idea.
You can't get much more than this out of radius arms without something like the Superior hinged arm.

How come your driving a Left Hand Drive Jeep ???

Thanks. Not sure I want to muck around with a 3 link... road legal in NSW

Sad but true, I am a yank, and the Jeep was in the US.

Jeep = All flex is in the front

Land Rover = All flex is in the rear


This is a basic but relatively accurate summation!

Just for clarification, hinged arm is a bad and misleading description. The Superior arms are nothing like hinged radius arms, which have a bad reputation. They make one arm with the bushes at the axle end closer together to allow more flex.

And Superior arms aren't available for Land Rovers "Yet"

The question is,do you want a ramp queen,or do you want a suspension setup that really works?
With a Land Rover it is all about getting a balanced setup between the front and rear suspension.Which is why you very rarely see Land Rovers winning ramp contests,and why you always hear people commenting as to how well Land Rovers work offroad.
