    Well I only kinda get it...

    I just now you want the roll axis angle to be as close to 0 as possible. Like Id have liked mine even closer but... And then anti dive well its so finicky its easy to be quite a bit off with that so I'll take that with a grain of salt but I've seen the 'ideal' numbers for that all over the place so I'm rolling with 90%, which is probably wrong anyway, is decent.

    The more I read the more I want to stab my eyes out.

    I guess my point was I don't think you can go wrong if you built it with those principles in mind. Its still going to handle and drive better than a stock FJ on 4"+ lift. Or Jeep or what have you.

    Well I was going to work on it today but spent most of today trying to unbrick my powerstroke. It would seem SCTs reccomendation to update the firmware on my tuner really fucked me, as it bricked the SCT and then SCT had to remote connect and do some shit and then poof my custom tunes are gone. So I'm rocking a cherrokar for now. Hoping Rudy's will send me a tune in the AM and not make me pay ridiculous amounts of $$$.

    In other news.

    Traded a 12" double row china bar for two of these.

    Link numbers and math and design make my brain hurt too. I'm glad it's over.

    We're linking my buddies 96 cummins next. :bananadead:

    Broke my hilift trying to squeeze the frame as apparently it spread. In the end the hi lift worked, by pissing me off which let me wail on the frame with a sledge with no fucks given which worked...

    Not sure what I'm gonna do here. I tried to make a custom 1/4" cover but didn't really work out. Think I may weld the ring to the cover and then add some thinner plate around the bottom of the cover. Thoughts?
