So I've got a plan for an overly-complicated system that will break down at the most inopportune moment to deal with that ;-) Basically what I'd do is put a hydraulic actuator at the lower pivot point and also to the frame. There would be a hose going to another slave cylinder or an accumulator, and a valve that would lock it in whatever position I want. Basically all I'd have to do is pull or twist a knob and have them lock up solid. Parts'd be relatively cheap. That's the passive system. The active sysytem would be to actually have a pump and valves and shrink or grow the actuator as needed; raise the fronts/shrink the rears for going downill, raise the rears/suck up the fronts for ascents... But I wouldn't gold-plate it; because that would be overkill ;-) Maybe I could sell it to some rubes at the next SEMA. > > Looks like you haven't done the TJ flares yet. Nah. I kludged up extensions for my Xenons in the rear, and just did the Xenons in front with no extension because I got tired of *wrenching* and wanted to go *wheelin*! So far, I've done some extreme flexing and not hurt the Xenons. They're urethane, and so pretty flexible and tough. I think I'll keep 'em. One fella in the club I wheeled with last weekend has a YJ with the TJ flares, another YJer did his up flat fender. There's room for all kinds!
