trifive front suspension ridetech or sc&c

[rockytopper]

Ok Im in the planning stages of building my trifive suspension for my nomad. My first two choices for the front are ridetech arms and coilovers or SC&C chassisworks arms and coil overs. I,m not interested in discussing coilovers at this time mainly interested in the front geometry you can acheive with either of these setups. For the back I plan to install a C4 rearend with coilovers. I have spoken to both Marcus and ridetech reps who where suppose to send me a pick of a trifive with the ride tech coilover kit installed but have not heard back from them guess they are busy. The ridetech rep mentiontioned that I could achieve a 2 inch drop with my stock spindle and go lower if I buy the ridetech spindle not sure how much more drop is acheived with their spindle? The rear C4 kit is setup to drop the rear 2 inches.

Thanks

Either of those would be fine, just make sure the upper arms have an additional 6* caster built in. Another company you might consider is Heidts. They make standard width and narrowed arms, so when you get aftermarket brakes that push the wheel out, your wheel will be in the correct location. Heidts also makes a 2" drop spindle, which baer and wilwood make brakes specifically for.

Hey Rocky,

I'm not sure who you talked to but here's some pictures (you may receive duplicates from our rep) of the tri-five coilover kit installed on our arms.

If you use the stock spindle, you'll get around around 1-2".

If you use our spindle, you'll get 3-4" of drop.

Josh I contacted you via PM and I beleive I spoke with Bryce on the phone. Thanks for the pics but I was really looking for a outside view of the car to see the final stance. Also can you tell me the geometery changes acheived with your arms?
Thanks

Ah, my bad. We have a Chase here, that's about the closest sounding name to Bryce haha.

The only geometry that we changed on the arms is really the ball joint angles/positions, everything else is designed within stock specs to make sure it fits like it is supposed to.

Here are a couple of ride height pictures:
