Those retainers won't help with spring bow or an angle mount. They will hold the coil in the perch even under long travel scenarios where you may have enough droop that the coil could fall out.
Any idea why they’re only good for up to 5” lift? It seems like more extreme rigs would make more changes like this. Just curious.
I'd guess it would require the addition of adjustable lowers over 5" but I can't see anything else that wouldn't work? Things like brake lines, abs lines, and vent hose would probably need extended, but I think that's the case with any lift that tall.
That’s fantastic. I’m not sure if this one, but a triangulated setup might be in my future.
Mines been tested to ~3' of air and drifting at 100mph in the dirt and still looks like it did the day I Installed it.
With a standard lift that keep the stock geometry and track bar you'll still get the drawbacks of both even if you replace all 4 control arms. The uppers in the stock location are very short compared to the lowers which lead to large pinion angle changes when the suspension cycles. The faster you go the quicker the axle is rolling front and back on rough terrain. That's not a good thing. The rear track bar will still push the axle driver on compression and pull it passenger on droop. The bigger the bumps and the higher the speed the more this happens. And what amplifies it is that the front track bar is mounted opposite so it's pulling driveron extension and pushing passenger on compression. That makes for sometimes violent head toss at speed. The triangulated uppers eliminated both issue for me. My mojave regularly sees freeway speeds in the desert and the rear is much more planted over washboards. The bigger bumps/ jumps smooth out much quicker upon landing as the rear just moves straight up and down. In my opinion is not even close.
Not sure. There's plenty of adjustment in the uppers, but the kit doesn't include lowers (or need them at those lift heights. My guess would be that at over 5" you'd want to add adjustable lowers but otherwise it would work fine.
