Doing some snowheeling this morning near Banff.

Got it from KRfabs and he's been ducking my emails and calls for the last two years so I don't expect to get any help from him and was just going to get a new one made, so if you did have the proper schematics that would be much appreciated.

Just wondering if anyone has the exact schematics for a strut spacer 4 inch lift. The current spacer for the right side makes the strut come in contact with the brake line holder (it's a small metal box that the brake line comes in and out of), I'm thinking maybe it was incorrectly made since no matter what we can not get it working without either no movement or just a horrid noise when you turn the wheel. The only schematics I have is this but I'm not sure if there's more, or more highly detailed ones.

I would love to hear about this too @XPLORx4

But the 4x4parts one is disgustingly ugly

I've been using this and this for my eventual plans of a snorkel, welding does kind of scare me though.

Looks just like the other side I did not know this at all, do you have the schematics for both sides by any chance? And these were made by Krypton Fabs, and he hasn't repsonded to my calls or emails so I have little recourse on that end it seems

I installed my SFD back in June and since have had a constant camber issue on the passengers side, my father and I tried installing the strut space the other way round and it made a truly terrible clunking noise whenever it turned. So we put it back to the original orientation, after we installed new LCA's and camber bolts the camber issue on the passenger has gotten even worse and I'm now told by that the passenger side spacer is for driver side, but driver side is perfectly fine. Are there even two different spacers, does anyone have any ideas?

I don't really know how to explain it but I just did this it's not totally relocating it so that may not be as much help for you.

I'm pretty sure it is a powdercoat, but I was also told by a parts guy at my dealership that they're designed to rust. I don't beleive that at all but I've seen enough "surface" rusted out bars to at least question what's causing it here.

You should definitely paint it, I've seen way too many ARB bumpers completely rusted because it only has the powdercoat on it. If you're only here for the summer months though you probably wouldn't need to worry about it. Here's mine

I have this installed on my 2004 and have had no problems at all and everything worked perfectly. I just relocated the Washer Fluid Reservoir and everything was good.

Doing some semi urban exploring

Not a lot in Edmonton for offroading sadly

Thanks man, I drive country roads and highways all the time so having a deer-proof bumper seemed well worth it. He loves the jimmy, still wish it had more power (6.2 Diesel), tons of torque but no 'get up and go'.

Finally as tall as my buddies K5

Thank you very much for the help, a wealth of information as always you two are!

Thank you, Could you elaborate on the clocking aspect, I've never even heard of that. They are 32's (255/75R17)

Currently having some trouble with my newly installed SFD, after installing the steering linkage the turning is now extremely rough with only being able to turn a quarter steering wheel until it starts binding. It lets up after a little pressure but it happens every bout quarter to half turn. As well, the rear sway bar linkage is not at all long enough, which I didn't even think about, and this is mainly a highway vehicle so I do need a rear sway bar. Obligatory Picture

I feel like SFD is a bit more future proof, especially if you plan on a rear bumper and some drawers in the trunk, it also allows you to go AC in future if you so desire for a bit more lift after all the weight.

Just to clarify, the crosslink would not work if you had a SFD?

It definitely will be easy, but it's always nice to get out and about once in a while.

Offroad Brigade is doing the Trans alta trail this Saturday if anyone wants to join. http://www.offroadbrigade.ca/forums/index.php?threads/trans-alta-road-saturday-17th.1028/#post-8019

I'm in Calgary so a pretty quick drive relatively.

When were you thinking of going? Here's the GhostPLUZ October map
