I stand corrected, thank you for that. Some "engineering" is truly frightening to me.

Kid at school just bought this monster POS. Who builds things like this and says "that's a great design?

Hhhhhoooooollllllyyyyyyy mother of unsafe junk! No photoshop needed to show that was a butchering job! @Tedlovesjeeps would mourn the massive and obvious murder of a waggy!!!
My soul aches for Jeeps everywhere!
If yours looks like any portion of that, a serious intervention will be in the works!!! HT

Sadly that's pretty normal...
See a crapload of lifted SuperDuty trucks around here, cuz you gotta have 12" lift to drop the kids @ school.
Them speedbumps are nasty, wouldn't wanna get stuck going over one.

Nope! I've only advised him that he needs to park it and fix it before driving around.
I'd love to say all my fabrication is top notch but that ain't the truth. As I look back at older projects I can see some stuff that makes me cringe today. It's a learning process. But at least I can say if I made something that was subpar it usually ended up in the trash. Image

At that Excursion, the front is actually done properly. The track bar having a raised bracket is to make it match the drag link angle so that you don't get steering oscillation (death wobble). But the rear is scary as heck. And well, its just lifted way too high. Totally worthless for anything outside of driving through deep water.

The front is definitely less scary but if you look at the tie rod (knuckle to knuckle) you'll see it's slightly bent near the center jam nut. Guy that owns it is a nice dude. I thought he was mentally retarded when I first met him but it turns out he just got seriously messed up in Iraq. He has other trucks that are nice. This was an impulse buy for him and he will get to fixing it all.

I am sure Atlas Spring would be proud of there springs being on the excursion.
