Dont know if this is true but I have been told driving 80+ on 5.13s for a long period is not good for the gears. Is there any truth to this?
Im gonna spend some time this weekend and try to lock a place down to stay.

Well I was hoping you'd cover for me - remember that stupid big ass mud hole I was in?
Leave no mud hole unmolested

You are just doing Moab right?

No man seriously, gearing is just to make up for tire size to hopefully get your rpm’s at around the same as before. One thing it could effect is your drive shafts spin a lot faster. Need to make sure that you have no vibrations and you should be good.

Yeah, the whole weekend was a blast. Even that damn sippie hole. At least I didn't get stuck so there's that...
Hey, I measured that bracket for you: From the bottom of the axle tube to the bottom of the mount is 5"
I'm curious how close it's gonna be to the inside of the tire. Just eyeballing it they should be closer that how far in the stock CA bracket is. Maybe Monday I'll throw a tire on the axle while it's on the ground & get a couple more pics

LOL, oh yeah, gotta have those meetings.

Just checked it against mine and its the same, so the big clearance gain is on the upper LCA mounts. Thanks for checking!

What do your mounts look like? I'm curious how the Fusion CA mounts look.
I guess in order to really gain with the CA/CO mount on the axle you'd have to go outboard mounts on top of the axle and get into the tub. I'm not really in a hurry to do that.

My ignorance here again. Do you have different brackets than I do for your lowers with your arms?

No, same ones. And according to Dan today, they are designed to support 2.5” coilovers with out rubbing too. Nice bonus.

I think so, basically the DTD brackets. Here’s mine:

Actually, just looked at the DTD and those LCA mounts hang low too. Looks like genright is the only one.

The LCA axle mount on the Evolever looks to be the best I've seen. Other than a complete custom built system.

Ok, I had thought so to. I must have look at a picture without high clearance arms. That’s about as clean as it gets
