trailing arm coilover question

[thext94]

I was just day dreaming and I'm wondering...if you've converted to coilovers on your baja, you don't have torsions in the rear tube anymore, right? So in theory would you be able to move the pivot locations back and/or wider as an alternative to new 3x3 trailing arms? (I know it would probably be alot of work to get it exact...) I'm not doing a conversion myself, at least not yet. But it was just a random thought I had... What do you guys think?

I guess I should've searched haha sorry, let me know if you find it though. Seems like an interesting concept

If it's a different size width or length you are after then I would say to just get arms on the size you want. With the stock pivot points and a 3x3 or whatever you have camber changes that are inherent to the angle of the beam. Mind you that the stock pivots aren't optimum for camber gain but they work. When moving mounting points you could potentially make things worse, so research is your friend. On my new Thing project my buddy Getrdone made new rear "torsion housings", I think the angle is somehwere around 6 or 7 degrees and the camber gain at full bump is around 4 degrees.
