Got this ol’girl in and man it looks nice almost too nice to be a crawler lol . Gonna check some clearances but I think everything’s at home now with the Artec arms I’ll be able to put my hydraulic cylinder where ever I want . View attachment 363181View attachment 363182

Also the headers fit perfect suggested by I believe @Bent77 thanks .

View attachment 363215 Looks like I’m gonna have an issue with the panhard bar clearance. I’ve seen a few bend the bar to allow more up travel ? Any advice ? @AgDieseler @Fastereddie

5 degrees perfectly placed might do it. 10 degrees will, for sure.

So leaving it straight works fine but I only get about 6 “ of up travel before I hit the frame . Doesn’t seem like much. I’m using a 16” coil over what do you guys think ?

I have about 5 to 6” of up travel from my ride height. My diff to crossmember is the first thing that would hit. (Besides the tires to sheet metal lol) if you look at where the bump strike pad is in relation to the frame, I’d say yours looks about the same?...

Looking at your pic again, is your diff leaning way forward? Looks like negative caster from that angle. If you lean it back, looks like the track bar would clear the ramp of the frame more..??..

this is correct I believe ?

looks good. I assume you are zeroing it out from a reference point like the flat belly section of the frame?

Yes I believe I did that right if you could show me an example I’d feel better.

I feel like 6" uptravel is pretty good still keeping the frame and engine x member

 

[Chevk587]

Made some clearance for the panhard bar should be good now .
