I know the point of this is kind of a waste being that bent is bent, but I can't tell what exactly bent? Is there a way to determine what exactly is bent?

TheDirtman

How did you determine it was bent? Alignment check? You could use a straight edge and take measurements down the tube, if it were the tube that was bent it should be on the long side. If you have a bent C you can take a measurent on the line that goes thru the center of the ball joints. You may also be able to use an angle finder on the rotor to find a bent C.

Why do you have extended bump stops?

It's a part of the lift. Mopar 2"Stage 2 lift, dealer installed.

TheDirtman

That makes sense, dealers rarely set up lifts correctly. Unless you are running 12" travel shocks you should not need them.

What issues are you having ?

It is all part of the Mopar kit, the kit has the Fox shocks, I have no idea what the length is, but it articulates really well in my opinion for a stock jeep. I don't think they are holding me back, it seems to stuff the tires up in really well.

Maybe longer to protect the shocks.

The tires are cambered in at the top after entering the mud bog at my local fair. I floored it in low range, drive, and took off running and the Jeep went up the incline before the mud pit and was around 2-3 feet above the mud and cleared the first 10 feet or so of the bog before it landed, I kept it floored and pretty much flew through the mud, slamming into the far side wall that your supposed to have to climb over to get out of the mud, but being that I was still going at an insane pace..... I hit the wall and shit the front up first, and then the rear hit tires hit and bounced up into an Endo style nose dive out onto the clay track. It was quite the show I've been told. I made they're run in 5.21 seconds to win the event, beating out the other 13 entrants that included a supposed 800 hp mud truck. I made the JK jeeps look like super hero material, but I knew that I made a big mistake at the end of that 5 seconds. It beat me around like a rag doll and for the most part felt like being in a high speed car crash. As a matter of fact, I would almost say it was a car crash. It happened so fast, I didn't have time to register exactly what was happening. I know this, I'll never do something like that again. 3 Days of cleaning and a couple grand in repairs.... to win the $150 grand prize at the local fair. Yea, it's that stupid.

Anyways, the front tires are leaning in at the top and it's fairly noticeable. Something is obviously not okay at the okay coral. I was just really trying to actually see what I did bend, but it's not so easy to see.

TheDirtman

Jeep tires are normally farther in at the top then the bottom, that would be camber. If you are not getting shaft rubbing you may be able to correct it with offset ball joints. Have you actually had an alignment check to see how far out of spec they are?
