Cross Rear Hoop Installationinstruction

[kwspony]

I am getting ready to install my rear hoop. I do not have the install instructions. Anyone have a set or at least know where to weld the mounts?

IIRC the lower mounts are supposed to be ~ 4" outboard from the pumpkin...

Re: Cross Rear Hoop Installation instruction

Thanks Sean. I was wondering, If I wanted to go with a longer shock, could I move them out a bit farther?

Re: Cross Rear Hoop Installationinstruction

Guess you could, but plan for any future upgrades as well. I had to cut one off and move it to the rear when I built my anti-wrap bar....

Do you get alot of roll with those? I bought one to replace duff mount, But I was told I would get alot of roll on the road.

Re: Cross Rear Hoop Installationinstruction

mine rides better with the inboard then it did with the stock setup, course i did FW at the same time.

Body roll is all about the shocks. I went with Phil (sillyfabs) advice and went with procomp3000 and I love'm. And for 28 bucks a piece who couldn't.

My shock mount is on the front of the axle all the way out next to the spring perch. and bolted to the inner most hole.

Re: Cross Rear Hoop Installationinstruction

Is the upper mount straight above the lowers or at an angle?

Re: Cross Rear Hoop Installationinstruction

IIRC pretty much straight up, I can check my directions when I get home unless your welding it now

Re: Cross Rear Hoop Installationinstruction

I set mine back a bit from directly above the lowers so when I move the diff back 3", i can just flip the shocks to the backside of the cross mount.

Re: Cross Rear Hoop Installationinstruction

Left ya a msg, but: leaf spring perch inner (towards diff) to lead (outer) edge of lower mount is 4". Upper hoop is mounted directly above the axle housing (use bump stops as a reference) flush with the bottom of the frame, 1/4 - 3/8" below the floor (with a body lift go as high as you can and still keep a good weld, what I did, longer shocks, your choice here, my input-install)

Thats what it says with my extra input. Have fun 'bro you will love the flex. Give me a call if you need more info/clarification

Rick-

Re: Cross Rear Hoop Installationinstruction

thanks Rick. I was under the bronco when you called. I got the mount mocked up and measured. 18-20" depending on which hole I use.

Good excuse Karl

Re: Cross Rear Hoop Installationinstruction

Rick, are you running 10 or 12" shocks in the rear?

Re: Cross Rear Hoop Installationinstruction

I'll check, but I think they came from my front.....
