What all did you have to re/move to get those towers in there? Did you make those towers? They look similar to synergy towers except taller. Are you suggesting this would be easier in a 3.8 than a 3.6?

 

I'd think easier in a 3.8 as there is more room. On passenger side I made a custom battery box so I could turn the battery 90 degrees and then move the fuse box back. Stock air filter had to go, so I used the RIPP intake. Driver side I used a small generic washer fluid reservoir. Made a custom mount for the computer (I think that is located elsewhere on a 3.8).

Towers are from TMR customs and are around 22" tall. Tallest ones I know of.

 

Thanks. I'll have to wait until I'm back in Michigan to get mine next to my dad's 3.6 so I can compare. I'll look into TMR. You have 7" uptravel and over 4" of overall lift with that setup, ya?

 

4" of lift and closer to 6" up front and 7" up rear.

Where in MI? If you're out my way you are welcome to compare to my Jeep.

 

Pm sent.

 

Wow thats impressive man! Did you have to get custom made driveshafts to support that much articulation that 16" coilovers provide?

 

Nope 16s fit fine. Up front id bet thats close to max though as mine almost binds on 16s. Double triangulated front may help or limit strap the dif. Rear wise 18s i think would fit fine, i can fit them easily on mine and with 16s right now my pinion is fine there.my rear is double tri thoigh as is invests.

 

Ok so help me understand the reason why ine would run a 16"or 18" shock front and rear. What is the difference of running a 12"coilover with say a typical synergy or evo or genright shock tower over a 16" coilover with a tower like invest? I understand the tall tower the more up travel you will gain as well as a lcg but do you gain much more flex? At the end of the day aren't you limited by drivelines and such causing you to have to use limit straps to prevent the shock from over extending? Sorry for the stupid question but ive always wanted to know.

 

Mire travel/flex in bigger shocks. Limit straps save shocks in all applications and other components if a shock were to fail. Yes typically the higher the shock mount up top the more lcg so to speak (on same travel shock) but theres alot to lcg not just ride height. Ideally mounts are set based off shock travel you want and ride height and coil rates and such. Did that answer your question im not quite sure what your asking.

 

Kind of yes. So how much more tire travel/flex will you gain from a 12"coilover with a 12 tower to a 14 or 16" coilover with a longer tower? Right now when i flex my front end out of my jeep i can get 40" under my front tire before my rear starts to lift. What are you guys seeing with 14's and 16's?
