Off-Road Upgrade Questions

[SPAZZ]

ummm..my sliders are only attached in 2 places and I rock crawl all the time and have never had a problem. My sliders were made by Andy(Swordy) and his are the same way and we have neither never had a problem.

By the way...what is coke canning??? Is it where the thing all wrinkles up and collapses???

You might have a bigger contact area at the mount points Spazz. But I saw Jeffs first hand. The frame around the the weld dimmpled (only word I can think of to describe it). At first we thought the sliders bent but upon inspection found the frame was dimmpled around the weld area. Hope that explains it a little better.

I read in Four Wheeler that a guy put 36"s on his VX with the calmini 3" and a custom body lift. So I was thinking if I want 33"s with articulation I will need a body lift sence 3" suspension is all that they have right now. Anyone have any suggestions?

That would be Destruction. He is now SAS'd with air bags.

he probably has the same stock 4.3 ratio too still. Hopefully he went with at least 5.38's or will.

Hey Billy

I had some plates made and welded to reinforce the sliders mounting points so, will need to test then again, I think this is the best practice and think it would of still oil canned with three mount point anyway, the Isuzu frame is not made of very thick metal.
