Well it sure does look good for a coil conversion but I thought you said there were coilovers???:D:D

Coils and coilovers are two different things:D

looks like the wristed are theory w/ a bronco radius arm. reduces/eliminates bind....but gawd it just looks like something bad could happen. It's pretty though...is it prefab or did he build it?

those guys supposedly ripped off people and ran off. I can't believe there is still a write up on that shite. Can anyone confirm this?

I can say I remember hearing something like that, but I'm not sure. Does that count:flipoff2:

Isn't your axle going to drift with that type of setup. I thought that the reason people put the upper controle arms from the frame to the diff is because it helps keep the axle centered. It just looks kinda cheezy in comparison to what most people do on their own.

I actually called about that setup a year ago, and they no longer make it. Also the company is under a different name. So maybe the guys did screw people and run.

Right, but the YJ has the factory track bar to help keep it centered...

I wonder why the passenger side arm has only one bolt instead the two?

Here's the pic (http://www.off-road.com/4x4web/features/coils/images/4play/front2.jpg)

I think those arms a little short and at a full droop will pull the axle considerably far back and with the bottom bolt undone, it wouldn't pull back as much. I don't know, just a thought.

I was wondering the same thing.
Looks like crap to me.
Sure is pretty paint though

and by loosening the locks and pulling a pin on one front control arm, off-road prowess is increased while everyday driving is not affected.

Seems to me like it'd throw the pinion angle all over the place and place too much dependancy on the track bar to keep it at a reasonable angle...

My first thought was man, it must not flex for crap with those stubby little arms. Then the pics looked not so bad. Then I saw the pic where they had to leave a bolt out of the control arm to get it to flex.

Looks like a *solid* set up to me.

I just found this and thought it looked interesting. Figured I would share
