APEX autolynx - im happy

[Rahkmalla]

For starters, I read on here endlessly that 35s will fit on a stock ride height Rubicon or Mojave with zero rub. I now know that was a lie.

That being said. The autolynx are awesome! I have zero interest in rock crawling, I bought them for offroad comfort. They have delivered. Rutted out trails are definitely less jarring. Expensive? Sure. But I think it was money well spent.

The darker spots below are where the tire rubbed. Small, but also not "zero rub"

Do you notice more body roll in the corners on the street?

I have a set of these that just arrived today. Very excited to install them. I am much the same - I do not plan on wheeling my JT hard like I did my old JK, but even being able to disconnect on very tame trails and forest roads makes it so much more comfortable.

Sure wish apex designs would offer a Black friday sale.

Not at all. The links lock into a solid position for street use, and then unlock into piston mode for the "disconnect".

I know some would say for not much more money one could have bought an adjustable anti-rock. But an anti sway bar is a compromise on and off road. It's just a soft bar. A good antirock is adjustable, but I'd you're adjusting it every time you leave the pavement, why not just adjust from solid to open rather than soft to softer?

I agree, the antirock is a compromise. I misunderstood what you meant earlier about the better ride.... I was thinking on road. I just re-read your post, and you were very clear. Not sure how I missed that! It makes more sense that you were referring to when disconnected.

Not sure about a Mojave but they will fit on a Rubicon and Max Tow for sure without any rub. I ran BFG KO2s on mine in a 35 and had no rubbing at all at full lock. My buddies Rubicon doesn't Rub on General Grabbers in 35 on his Rubicon either. Not sure why yours are rubbing, may be a lightly higher or wider tire.

Mojave has an inch higher lift in front than Rubicon and wheels are offset out wider than any other gladiator.....gotta be the tire choice. They should fit more stock than any other Gladiator when stock.

Love my autolynx. Did you guys use all 4 washers to align them? I needed to.....err did....then I read this...

""the bushing in the lower end of the lynx didn't feel like they naturally wanted to bend that far, so i put in a call to technical support (lucky they were mountain time because I was doing this right after work eastern time). "no problem, the bushings are rated to function at that angle. We actually make spacers for people who are neurotic and want them vertical, but you don't need them"

It is amazing how much more comfortable moderate trails are when disconnected. I'm in a Mojave with stock sway bar bits still and the head bounce/back and forth can be a little much on some trails. All of my past Jeeps were equipped with JKS disconnects.. Would like to figure a solution with the JKS Flex connect on this one but JKS is busy doing nothing to accommodate that like they used to.

On a Mojave the springs and shocks are quite different, possibly allowing for more up travel.. Not good if the shock is fully compressing. OP should add a 1 inch bump stop extension.

My 35’s fit on my Mojave just fine…

Are you disconnecting?

Doesn't look like it in his profile photo!

Are you disconnecting?

Yes but not for every situation. Nor am I flexing beyond what my suspension allows.

I’m kinda lost by the “35’s don’t fit “ comment. 35’s fit… just not when driving in ditches or fully articulated. Hell…my 40’s on my JLUR rub at full flex in some situations….even disconnected…
