Installed a Currie Antirock and chopped off the crash bar/frame tusks last week

Looks good

PSC installed but it was not without its problems. Fought some leaks and other issues from a hasty install. Since I was going out of town for a week reluctantly dropped it at a shop to have them button everything up.

How you like the Antirock?

**john** · November 17, 2019, 11:04pm

Sorry Bill, never saw this response. Like the antirock. I really don’t notice it on-road anymore and offroad I feel like it’s more stable when off camber.

Replaced the passenger side unit bearing (at only 11k miles). Fusion tie rod, cmm clamp, new ram, and replaced PSC cooler. No more leaks but still getting some noise from the system at full lock or when the steering is bound up in the rocks.

Looks John! That aluminum rod is sexy

Relocated the rear shocks with the MC brackets and cut about an inch off of the rear CA brackets:

Since the control arm brackets no longer had their original shape I had to cut and bend the Artec skids to fit

Finished product after grinding down my shitty welds (upside down welding on the garage floor sucks!)

Big tanks to Michael for all his help and welding on the front skids

Good work with the welder boys!

Looks great!! What other rig do I see in the background?

**john** · January 14, 2020, 9:36pm

Looks good!

Nice, John.

**Silversurfer** · May 14, 2020, 12:57am

Good shit

**Gogged** · June 27, 2020, 12:34pm

John do you still have Synergy drag link or did you switch that to Fusion also?

**john** · June 27, 2020, 12:41pm

Synergy. Smaller diameter keeps it away from the frame when flipped.

**x7tristan** · June 27, 2020, 1:05pm

Yeah I went back to the steersmarts DL to get more clearance on my ram

**john** · October 3, 2020, 5:26pm

Went to Michael’s this morning and had him weld my Steer Smarts raised track bar bracket to the OEM bracket and also added a gusset. The bracket had been flexing with the steering ram mounted to it. Also removed the ram tabs and welded a new set a little higher than the old one’s.

Replaced the Metal Cloak track bars with Yeti XD front/rear and added a Synergy rear track bar brace. The front brace is on back order and will hopefully be shipped next week as I found that the hole on the front OEM bracket has been wallowed out a little bit.
