the length and angle of the joints of the half shafts is an other problem for consideration

too much offset rims may destroy your bearings rapidly...

i plan on keeping the stock track width and just add more travel. and an inch or so less offset on each side it all im gonna do..keep throwing possible problems at me this is helping me design this

Thats exactlly what I hope you understand I am doing and not trying to be a smart <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />

are you planing on lowering also the diff??

yes im gonna drop it 4 inches. im hoping dennis will post pictures of the drop brackets he had made.

so the front will consist of my modded upper arm/bushing system. 4 inch diff drop brackets. 4 inch lower control arm drop brackets. and until i go coil over a 4 inch strut spacer. along with the odds and ends like sway bar drop brackets yadda yadda. in the back im using tj 3 inch lift springs and extending the panhard bar and i might make a set of modified control arms so i can adjust it all. i want to get all the kinks outta this and make the kit or plans avalible to other kia nuts

With that much travel in the rear, in my head i was seeing longer panhard rod mounts. I would just think that it would have too much angle, and shift the rear axle too much, if you had any weight in it, i guess. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

good point..i was thinking the same thing..a mount would almost be easier too..

Perhaps instead of installing a longer panhard rod, you would need to go with a Watt's linkage setup to keep the rear axle from shifting.

Watt did you say? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Hahahaha. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> Looks kinda cool. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I also dont think a bushing is going to work out in that app. as it will cause to much deflection and wear to quickly. You might use a hiem or a uniball of some sort.
