You could totally be the first person to make and IFS knuckle with built in axle portals. Have a little tiny axle shaft that sticks out the back of the hub just enough to fit a gear on it and above have another smaller hub above that for the CV to go into and a gear on that that turns the gear on the axle shaft. Lift spindles for 4x4. Would only cost one arm and probably a leg.
Jmr uses taller ram knuckles to keep the arm's angles in check when dropping the cross members. There is no possible way my long travel spindles would work with 4wd because the lower uniball is centered on the hub so there is 0 room for axles. But if your using Jmr stuff with my arms you wouldnt really be changing the geometry too far from factory anyway. And guys with lift kits almost always sacrifice travel for height...no way around it.
The JMR knuckles are even taller than ram knuckles and there are pricey and they mandate the use of ram hubs and rotors. I am looking at a way to bolt an extension on top of my knuckle instead, but I think that is not going to be safe. If it is ductile iron maybe. Trying to keep the geometry really close to stock. I will not be sacrificing travel for lift. Been through that with the leveling kit. If I keep the CAs level and use the right CO in the right orientation, travel will be plentiful. with the help of projektdirt CAs, more travel comes. Kore CVs will be icing on the cake for even more travel. The only thing I am willing to sacrifice is the crappy stock parts, and the competition.
CVs are really your only hold up. Look at some of the total chaos 4wd kits. They're cycling 18 inches smooth! It's all cvs. Aside from cvs your just throwing 2wd parts on. Easy
I am with you. I have been looking at TC kits. With longer CAs and CVs, 12" should be possible. With the 30 degree kore inner cv joint, that could jump to 16."
