I believe that is correct that they only turn when engaged but I've easily put 1000 miles in 4A already and I've got less than 9k on the clock so far.
With the known reliability of the IWE system, I am sure they turn way more than you think. And that is a good thing. The CV's still move with the suspension and if they stayed locked in one place they would have abnormal wear on the balls and cups that can actually cause failure when you use four wheel drive. Boot wear is the concern for city drivers. But it doesn't take much to break a CV or axle at these angles when in four wheel drive under power. Don't forget the tie rods are at the same steep angle causing it's own small problems. But like Bannerman said, people that use their 4x4 know all about the problems. I also love 4 auto for the winter.
I did thanks! Found it on Tremor Trails Youtube video.
Best looking Tremor on here, IMO. Well done. Do you have any front/rear shots to see how much tire sticks out of the fender? Hate “poke” lol. Especially the the roads I drive.
Thanks. Stock wheels so only additional width would be due to the wider tires. 285s vs 265 so 10mm more on the outside. Still basically flush, don't think I have a straight on shot.
Did you leave stock rear block? If not did which one did you get?
Stock block.
Cool.
cool. Where I hunt it can get a little challenging so want to lift a little in front to improve approach going through dry creeks and get batter suspension running down dirt roads. Halo seems like best option and will blindly follow your lead ha ha. Seems like best set up so far and everyone has been happy.
Factory is 2.25 FYI
If you keep it on the road most of the time, there is nothing wrong with a puck/spacer.
You would keep the rear height for when you tow or haul, these things are designed to articulate over obstacles so with that being said they are a little soft and tend to squat with only about 500-600lbs. So honestly the cheapest route may be to go with a puck, there are several right around the $100 mark, unless you found a block that you could lower the rear for cheaper, also if you increase tire size the puck would allow you to run a 295/70 with out much issue.
@nestera you could also run a 285/75 even easier, narrower and taller but fit's better and better performance.
I was not happy with the ride of the stock suspension, so going with a more premium option was no-brainer for me. It's def DIY if you are handy, but if you question your ability, just have a shop do it. Hate to see you get your front end torn apart in your garage and not be able to get it back together.
It all depends on what your comfortable with, if you do a puck it requires removing the coilovers and adding the puck to the top of it, then reinstalling, you most likely will need to separate the UCA to do this, but it's not hard.
