Here is a pic of the rear adjustable trailing arms. They are 100% bolt on and will improve articulation. They will adjust from stock springs to 4 inches of lift and will be compatiable with an additional part that will allow for up to six inches of lift. I will have a website soon and will have other items as well. The name of the company is trail assult gear.  | ||

I hope they work out for you, but... This guy thought he could improve the LR design, check out the white Rangie: http://www.expeditionexchange.com/miller/ | ||

Orlando, I think you need to go back to the drawing board on those trailing arms. Just eliminate the adjustable center section and the hinged front, and you'll be on the right track. | ||

Orlando, P.S. I think you may have to hit the drawing board again on your company's name ("trail assult gear"). Just go back to the drawing board on your trailing arm design and your company's name, and you'll be on the right track. | ||

OK. "Trail Assuat Gear" needs to be either sent to Iraq or changed for "LR use". Anyways, when I modified my own rear links, I was scared as hell, and I still carry a set of originals with me. I will not sell them, and will not allow anyone else to use them, since I am not sure of their durability. However, I have put them through thick and thin, and they have done great. My initial design was to use LR pin+hinge set-up, but to offset my lif (12cm back then) and put the diff 2cm to the rear. That was it. 2 plates of 6mm sandwiched the whole thing to make sure things stay put. Here is a picture: http://www.discoweb.org/roumieh/Nadim7.jpg | ||

hard to tell from the pic but those look like factory links on the white RR to me. |
