Have we confirmed that the teraflex CV’s will fit on to the IG shaft? And the axle flanges?
I'm a few martinis in so my thinking might not be spot on, I don't think by adding larger tyres you effect the drive line as simply raising the whole car as opposed to lift where moving parts away from the axles.
this is exactly my thinking as well. the geometry between the axle and the body stays the same.
So when I am in Austin, it was 1 day to get it, only in Durango does it take multiple days, I am sure in Moab you could get one in Day via Amazon.
@parb and @ECrider - exactly. The WHOLE geometry, I believe, stays intact - just up a bit. So no additional angle on the drive shaft. You can still pick up an inch of clearance that way without the drive shaft risk. If the extra clearance is really that important, probably the best solution. I think the martinis made you lucid and succinct, @ECrider
So a 275/70/17 or what?
yes, the one for the Jeep JL Teraflex 1745000. I've got one coming in and have talked to another owner that has one installed and has ~500 miles on it with no issues.
My recollection of the Ineos promotional videos and trips and photos before release is that they included many instances where the factory itself was using 35" tires, for example that big Africa trip they did. My understanding is that 35" tires will not fit without a lift. So I assume during those factory tests that Ineos had taller springs installed? Does anyone have any insight on that?
Are we looking at that as just an easily obtainable road-side repair part? From the looks, it seems that the Teraflex would be subject to the same failures as the stock unit? Or am I missing some reason why its design is better than stock?
There have been reported failures with the stock springs. I think there was at least one person earlier in this thread. I don't know if they had larger tires or not.
From the TeraFlex website:
I believe this was a c clip failure, not a boot failure.
That’s correct it was my vehicle. No mods bar some extra electrical sockets.
And did the issue end up being c clip? I can’t remember the details
The Ineos Kavango Safari vehicle is running 34” The Ineos guys were very secretive or just plain didn’t know what has been done to suspension or running gear when I asked at the Game Fair UK.
Yes the C clip that failed.
the dirt box overland vid has Kenda 35 x 10.5 on a stock suspension. he says no rubbing.
No spacers on the springs
. Word has it on this forum that you can’t run 35” without some sort of lift as they will rub.
