Good morning everyone! Quick update on the Springs: I've installed the next version of the rears which came in at 129 lbs/in. This dropped the rear height by about 3/4 of an inch (empty) and it looks and rides better than the previous set at 142 lbs. I also increased the free length by .25in...

The diesel requires a lot more for the rear because the Rock Krawler Pro-X doesn't fit with all the emission stuff in the way. The pro-x is what is key to getting the rear to have the freedom to utilize the full range of wheel travel. Without it the rear goes int bind from the 5 link design...

Alright everyone, after a lot of merchandise issues and platform issues I finally launched my GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/2024-norra-1000-race I have 1 more set of rear springs I want to test that arrive next week, then it's time for the rally! I'll have starlink with me during the...

quick update: I ordered 1 more set of R&D rear springs, it will lower the rear height by 1 inch so I'll be retaking photos once I have them. total jounce is reduced by about 110lbs, but there is more compressible margin with reduces the stress at full bump which improves life! Currently...

the power curve is very smooth and consistent, you dont have to rev it to 4k just to start generating boost. at 2500 rpms I had about 60 ft. lbs more than stock on my dyno chart. It was tough for the dyno to get lower rpm data when running my truck in 4th (1:1 ratio)

ah, the Demon and Hellcat makes sense. I do all my own work so theres not much of a cost for me to throw in new internals, but having a professional shop do that for the 3.6 + the SC then I definitely agree becuase that alone is going to run 10k for just the 3.6 build + upgraded parts for 3k +...

I have not had any issues with heat management, but that doesn't mean someone might. I am in the desert often but never had an issue with heat. I do also have a manual trans so that removes the need for the auto trans cooler which is a positve for me. My torture test was in 2022 when I towed...

the Magnuson kit does about 7 psi of boost, which has been pretty good. There are concerns that the rods and wrist pints are the weak links for boosted applications so theres a few aftermarket forged kits available. When its time for a rebuild I'll be adding those just to add more margin.

the motor is good, and well designed for longvity for a regular daily driver. For me it is under powered which is why I supercharged it. Now with 326 hp to the rear wheels (37's) it has the right power I feel it should have for the way I drive it, but again I'm not doing basic/simple daily...

well crap, i forgot the flex photos. When I had the stock fron sway bar + rockjock rear along with Clayton front springs, Synergy rears coupled with Fox 2.5's (11.19in shock travel front, 11.97 shft travel rear) my front flex was 32in and the rear was 30. The front springs were a bit too stiff...

Happy Sunday everyone! I finally had a chance to take more more measurements ad data points on the spring design I'm finalizing for production. The photos show truck ride with and without 266lbs of pre-running gear in the bed. With 266lbs of gear the rear sits about 15/16ths of an inch lower...

hell yeah!!!

nope, a brace will not solve it. The jam nuts all need to be torqued to a pretty hgh level. Also, when the kit was installed it should have been hand tightened then placed on solid ground then final torqued. I have noticed aftermarket track bars like to be torqued to 135 ft. lbs. The stock bolts...

after installation and some initial driving of any lift you always need to recheck torque on ALL suspension bolts. I'd start there

I wish there was an alternative lifter that could be used that doesnt result in them failing. I had the intake fail twice on mine. (I was also beating the piss out of the engine leading up to it). I think the biggest challenge is quality tuning support. The way the systems and controls are set...

bent behind the axle, very interesting especially for a stock Mojave. I wonder how it happened

V8 for the JT with 450 ft lbs of torque and a manual trans that can tow 7500 lbs. I also like the option for manual windows and door locks. I'd really like to see the automotive industry leverage additive for more effecient heat exchangers as well as better materials for any ICE engine that...

i have a few other videos of me jumping it and ripping around in the desert. The first time I jumped it I smashed the rear bump stop so bad the bracket itself smushed up into the frame. That's when I upgraded to the fox bumpstops and those have been so much nicer

I have a Sport, non-s and have been jumping it for 85k miles and zero issues with the frame. Here's my most recent video as I've been developing springs for a pre-runner build that also towed 6k lbs no problem.

Good morning gang, here is a link to a video snippet from testing last Sunday in Barstow: Here's some notes on the current design: Fronts: looking to run a slightly thinner wire so it is easier to adjust bumpstops and easily install the Synergy 1in bump stop pads. The current spring design...
