Trussed JK Front Axle busted 3.6 Oil Pan

[DOUG]

Flexing may miss it.  Most likely to hit when both fronts hit and compress at the same time.

The 2" is over stock bump stops if you just add a truss with no other suspension changes.  .

If you lift and install tall tires, they may hit before before the axle, but ideally you want the bump stops to prevent tires and anything from hitting.  Every lift and tire install should include new bump stop chrck and adjustment as necessary.

I guess I don't understand this thread.  Are you saying that installing an Artec truss will require more bump stop creating less up-travel?

I interpret this thread to state that with the 3.6L engine, any front axle truss should be checked to make sure it does not interfere/interact/interface with the oil pan, especially under full suspension and bumpstop compression.  If the truss will touch the oil pan (or anything else), you should bump stop sufficiently to ensure it does not do so.

Can always build a smaller truss.
