ORB Suspension Installed

Finished up installing the new suspension on the wife's Jagged X tonight. All the suspension came from ORB, high clearance trailing arms, high clearance upper radius rods, HD lower radius rods, & +2" high clearance front arms. I had everything powder coated to match the Jagged X blue. The parts are all well made and very heavy duty. I did modify the radius rods, swapped out the heim joints for bushing rod ends on the chassis side. Had to make new SS bushings for them as the only ones I found fins quickly had 1/2" bolt bushings.  I did not have time to wait on getting Super Daves bushing & ball joints. The stock ball joints & bushing were still in like new shape so I just reinstalled them. I did drill and tap the ball joints for grease fittings. Figure I put a few hundred miles on them and swap them later. I also added grease fitting to the radius rod bushings. While I was at it I made a new rear mounting plate / hitch for the radius rods.

Turned out good and can't wait to see how it does on the trail now. Still more stuff to do but it will have to wait cause now I have to get mine ready for the April trip.

Awesome bro!!!

looks good

 

Looks great Joe!

looks good Joe!!

Nice job Joe. It sucks that you had to put all that extra work into the arms, but the end result is a suspension that should outlast the rest of the machine.

Best looking set up I have seen yet....may suck but that grease fitting just seems to be perfect! Way to go Joe!

great job, looks good

Looking good.
