Marlin Crawler's New Rock Crawling Long Travel IFS Suspension System (#RCLT)

Same here. And that's exactly how mine is setup. I haven't experienced any binding, and after watching hours of GoPro footage of my rear setup doing its thing I can say that it moves well and doesn't bind. I only have about 6k miles on the new setup tho, so jury is still out on if the joints wear out faster.

 

That's exactly my sentiment

 

Called it

 

Dang, you do a lot of driving!

 

I dont see how these shocks are going to clear the bed sides. Maybe it is just the angle / perspective.

 

Word, you are making my feel much better about my spring under setup.

 

He covered that part in the video. He's going to be running a deck system in the bed, and he cut out the bed (at the rear end of the wells) to clear the shock towers.

 

I see. I just looked at the photo. I got OCD about not wanting to cut my bed.

 

The real problem is how he's going to get any up travel and prevent his axle from articulating and tire breaking the hose fitting off.

Maybe on jeeps they just gimp all their travel after lifting for the sake of bigger tires?

 

JD kit chops the bed too for the shock towers. I'm just bad at cutting though so ignore that much....

 

RCLTHD ordered August 12, arriving tomorrow

 

Yeah I didnt want to do that on my long bed. We managed to get 14" shocks under the bed, so we'll see how it works out.

 

It’s more like this route... 14” shocks under the bed, cycles 17” travel and 19” travel with frame notch

 

Proper installation and shortbed ^^^^

 

That’s on a long bed

 

Yeah. My brains not here today apparently.

 

Were you part of the first preorder?
I'm mid 20's on the list after that.

 

I don't believe so

 

The first batch came from the mid February order.
