Haha, I've considered it. I just really love the look of those stock 16" rims, though.

To be honest though, with everything I'm doing I'm set on keeping as many stock parts as possible. I threw out the 4 link idea, I threw out the LS swap idea, I even threw out the 1 ton axle idea simply because if I did all those things... then it's just another Jeep. I'll leave that stuff for the Wrangler guys, but I'm trying to keep as many things that keep my Land Rover a Land Rover. Hell, even if I break my axles and blow up my 4.6 I'll just save up for HD axles and one of those lovely Cannibal 5.0s and do all the same crazy stuff again.

 

Honestly, if you lower it 3" and correct the pinion, you may be able to run the rotoflex.

The issue is not torque here, it's the angle. There's a reason so many people that lift D1s need to convert the rears to U-joints, they're not radius arms so the angle increases dramatically.


Don't doo it!

 

Forgot about the angle. Yea, most applications I work with, it's not much of an angle.

 

Definitely, yea. The angle would be too much once I got a set of castor corrected arms. Right now the angle at the diff is almost the same as stock, but that would change drastically.

 

Also I doubt the heat from the engine bay would be helpful to the rotoflex.

 

you only need one rotoflex for the entire drivetrain if the cdl is open. if you put 2 rotoflex on you are going to have one noisy jerky vehicle as the driveshafts bounce around like a pendulum

 

Huh, I didn't really think about that. Makes perfect sense now that I do.
