whats controls ur truck in the mud? but there r rule?
extreme90:
it is a 3 link set up as standard :roll:
you dont need to alter the set up at all on the back :roll:
im still on a std balljoint and have lots of flex :wink:
as for props, that isnt hard to sort, get a wide angle, cures alot of problems in 1 really :wink:
your wasting you time trying to make the rear better,
the rear setup of a lr is fine, its the front that is rubbish, so concentrate on whats more of a advantage, not something thats not going to give you much
sorry but have got some silly ideas in your head from somewhere :roll:

I guess when you mention a cv joint on the a frame Steveo , that you mean a big ass rose joint(or rod end joint) This is what the likes of Equipe, or anyone else after big movement is using.
Speaking of big movements, you will never get rid of rear steer on the back of a LR product. UNLESS....you tear out the radius arms, and their mounts, and re position em. They are basically a roll steer magnet in standard form.
You seem to be trying to achieve the impossible
(dont tell me that you never know what you might achieve till you try BS)
You wont produce a Disco that drives like a standard truck on road tyres Mon to Fri, then becomes a playday beast on 38's with 3 link on a weekend.
Gearing wont work, suspension will at best be a compromise, speed/power/efficiency will be uncalculatable.
You WILL need a big purse for repair bills, old Landrover parts from your mates breakers yard will do just that. BREAK. You need to spend top dollar on heavy duty drive train components, and even then, if you do get 38's I cant seen the axles wanting to be your friend.
You would have to uprate, then its more grief and expense.
Dont say you wont break stuff cos you dont drive that way. One day you will have to cross a side slope, one day you will cross axle, and just as sure, one day you will hit the skinny pedal a bit too hard, and hear breaking metal music coming from under your truck.
As far a fabbing a home brew 3 link, beware! Its hard to get right in the first instance, and needs to be hellish strong to be safe. How do I know, my zook was 3 linked front and rear on coils, done by me. It worked great off road, but had limitations on road, so the 15000 miles I did in her as a daily drive were done with mucho consideration.
Research is what you need, let the search function be your friend. Get on Pirate4x4(beware, they'll eat you alive) its where the best suspension advice is on the net.
Its nice to have the most extremiest truck etc, but the old adage about learning to walk, etc. before swimming , etc.
You have mentioned that you dont have any issues with diff clearance etc, wait till your driving demands a change, then improve things, dont try to go all the way in one leap, Youll make it undriveable.
Theres guys on here who are ribbing the hell outa you, and if it wasnt for the Mud-Club expletive police, they might be a little more forthright....
If at the end of the day you just wanna go for gold, then just
D O I T !
Dont forget tho:
Go on, go on, you know you want to :wink:
