Ashcroft Force 9, is there anything better?

Quick Update from LRA's latest build, this shot shows the truhi9 in their first Rover9 housing

nice, and looks like they are using SE rear arms or similar?

Upgraded Adjustable rear Johny Jointed control arms..also more stable over standard joints with high power

Not as much tourque steer from the rear apparently, so im quessing more solid and less sideways movement

I thought the A frame did most of the lateral movement?

I would have thought Torque steer being that of power and diff ratio and how much body roll it produces. That body roll will cause steer depending on link geometry. Those LRA links are a touch shorter for a given height, therefore more roll steer…….

Maybe the stock bushes compress more, but I thought that would be almost un measurable, otherwise there would be handling issues all the time.

The stock bushes compress a fair bit so that when your flexing it lets axle drop, and are quite loose, these johny joints are nice and tight ive seen them in the flesh, stronger pipe, adjustable in length and not built by LRA, I dont know of a better replacement trailing arms for what they are doing so its a good choice.

Those Johny Joints, Terrafirma I believe also allow stress free unrestricted articulation 30degrees and much stronger tubing 1.5" diameter x 5/16" wall thickness

Update on this, I may have found someone that is willing to supply the parts to convert the Rover housing to 35spline, he has done 35spline Sals before and has indicated he can make everything including the 10bolt drive flanges and 4340 axles. Will be getting a stock late RRC hub and spindle to him soon, he will then confirm if all is well before going ahead

Does anyone know if the 93 RRC hub will have scallops (no metal) where the potential extra 5 Drive flange holes will bolt to with the 10 bolt drive flange conv.

If so what year RRC rear hubs are not scalloped and will they bolt up and work the same with no differences?
