Beastly can’t wait to see it wrapped up and crawling some massive rocks!! 🤙

@laynebrannon9129 3 года назад

Badass setup you've got going, looking forward to seeing it on the rocks!

@treehouseoffroad 2 года назад

I would've loved to see you cut that 3/4" plate with a grinder! Time lapse! So cool what you're doing, it's on a whole different level than me (for now)

@BackyardBeaters 2 года назад

Took FOREVER... but cutting wasn’t the worst part, trying to drill the 3/4 hole through that 3/4” plate for the bolt with a hand drill was the worst 😂

Just ordered some of your decals for my ZJ.

@BackyardBeaters 3 года назад

So awesome!!! Thanks for the support! Make sure to tag me in a pic when you get them on!

@qxr20 3 года назад

you actually dont want the line of the cylinder right at the pivot, it changes your ackerman... you want it a straight line when it is turned away from the ram fully or halfway in between depending on preference...

@qxr20 3 года назад

knuckles look good !

Also if you triangulate your axle, you won't be able to use a steering box

Can't wait to see your zj in action I've seen it before and thought it was an awesome unit!! All your video are wiked too! I was curious what do you think if I put a dodge dana 60 cad out of a 2500 dodge truck , on the front of my 97 zj or should I go get a ford Dana 60 out of f250 diesel I plan on doing pretty much like your setup

@BackyardBeaters 3 года назад

Ford all the way. Get that high pinion

@FunAdventuresImp 3 года назад

Hey I also I have a dodge Dana 80 out of the back of that truck Should I get a ford rear Dana 60 or do you think it's ok to run the dodge out back on my zj

@FunAdventuresImp 3 года назад

I was curious too how much travel your shocks have? I was thinking 12" for my setup ,is that alot or fair in your opinion? Just considering the shock hoops in the rear !

@BackyardBeaters 3 года назад

I’m not of fan of Dana 60 rears, go 14 bolt rear and Ford 60 front. That’s the winning combo

@BackyardBeaters 3 года назад

12s are plenty. 12s front and rear set up properly is more travel than most will ever need. I just switched to 14s in the front, and I’m running them angled back so I’m getting about 20” of whee travel out of the front

Were you able to use the 7/8’s heim on the inside with the clevis? I’m currently installing a PSC kit on my truck right now and was wanting to get some stronger veins. Thanks for posting the video!

@BackyardBeaters 3 года назад

No The Clevis has to use the heims it comes with and these little misalignment washers that are included. I’m not worried about them breaking. More likely to break a clevis tbh. I plan to buy a spare clevis to keep in the glove box

@blackhart3989 Год назад

Why do you need misalignment spacers if there is no flex in the system, just only pivoting on the bolt?

@BackyardBeaters 10 месяцев назад

There is definitely some flex in the system when turning lock to lock, mine is straighter than most but it still changes, not enough to where spacers were a necessity for sure, but I just wanted them to be safe I wasn’t maxing out the heim ever. I also needed to space the heim away from the high steer arm for clearance, so the misalignment spacers are the easiest way to do that.

Hey I have a 98 grand cherokee and Im looking to one ton it, what year can I use that will work beat for the jeep?

@phillipstuart3318 2 года назад

Has anyone ran full hydro On the street And how was it

@phillipstuart3318 2 года назад

I know its not legal Just want to know how it works on the street

@BackyardBeaters 2 года назад

Not ideal, but drivable, not very safe. Super touchy. Not recommended unless it’s a trailer queen

@@BackyardBeaters i want to solid axle swap on my Frontier D30 but i still use it for daily, using Full Hydro Steering was okay for daily? My plant was the solid axle with triangulated 4 link suspension and tuss.
