More rebound in back is the most important change - not sure I'd add compression to get it though.

Take a look at the way the back bounces on landing in that video the instant before I catch the berm.

didn't double check front bumps

If you guys didn't know or if it even helps but explorer rear leafs are direct bolt in upgrade from 3 to 4 leafs

[mr.mindless]

I need less rate and more travel, not less. I'd consider dropping the bottom leaf or even going to a main leaf only and adding a traction bar (should be legal: rules state stock main leaf, all else is open)

[mr.mindless]

welding on two new bolts to lower the vertical component in the rear will do what you just asked for - in the right direction less compression, less rebound


did you look to see if the front bump stops were still present and happy?

driver side looks perfect, passenger side still 2/3 attached.

looked like on millers and a few other cars, standard procedure was to take a cut off wheel and remove the two halves of the bottom leaf without unbolting anything 

[mr.mindless]

makes sense.

only suspension thing I may do is swap out those front bump stops, not touching anything else unless I discover it falling off.

No worry about axle wrap?

[M4wdFab]

so much wrap with the 2.3 power house to worry about!

I have a set of explorer spring if you guys want to try them at some point.

[luvmyxj]

Matt if they don't want them I'll take them, looking for some for the ranger

[mr.mindless]

All yours, Troy, I think.

FYI- i for the life of me could not get the mast line out of the slave- its easy to get to, just would not pop out.  the line is hard thick wall plastic 3/8 tube that swedge lock compression fittings work find on

Ditto. Hours wasted trying.

Fucker won’t bleed out. Got some strange white spooge out of it.

Hopefully Spencer will share an epiphany when he arrives.

All goddamn day to load shit up on 571 to brig over, load drive and park a trailer, and R&R a trans and clutch.

I’d starve to death working book rate.

clutch slave has to be bled on the bench upsidown, it cant be done in the truck

[mr.mindless]

I thought the master had to be bench bled not the slave
