"Swingarm" thats what it was called! Can't believe it took 8 beers and a pizza to remember! Makes alot of sense for what they do! Like I said main advantage was smooth ride on rough stuff!. Note the MONSTEROUS shocks they use tho...trying to overcome that mechanical disadvantage that that setup puts the shock in!
is there a link for these?Tibus +65mm wheels
I think they are a beaklock wheel (TB103)is there a link for these?
i've only found the beadlock tibus's
They only fit broncos with tibus portals, and should come free with tibus portals.is there a link for these?

yeah, it looks like only ~12" of clearance under those mounts... \sSome more footage, looks like the shocks are still mounted to low.
do the tibus portals have a unique bolt pattern not compatible with standard bronco wheels?They only fit broncos with tibus portals, and should come free with tibus portals.
They are a custom offset designed to work with the Tibus Portals.do the tibus portals have a unique bolt pattern not compatible with standard bronco wheels?
does 'should' mean they don't come free with the tibus portals?
Getting rid of those rock anchor LCA frame brackets is almost exciting as the idea of portals. I've never gotten around to modeling the geometry of it but I've even wondered if you could just cut a hole in the bottom of the frame and mount a narrow Johnny joint or similar within the boxed frame. The frame is fairly wide and stout so maybe?I have toyed with the idea to use some "truck arms" to replace the LCA mount and the coilover mount on the diff and making them one. Then you can move the front of the LCA mount, on the frame side, to outside the frame, flush with the bottom of it.

That is fair... but I would argue that you will be on the trail multiple times fixing sh!t.... and after How many times you have spent the same amount.$20k lol no.
You could literally break you suspension multiple times a year off-road and not drop that coin.
If you're going that far, you might as well go a double triangulated 4 Link, Then you tuck the lowers up inside the whole frame, and also get rid of the Trackbar/PanhardGetting rid of those rock anchor LCA frame brackets is almost exciting as the idea of portals.

I understand where you are going with that.... and I think it is a good argument. But that actually gets me less clearance. The Dana 60 is stouter but it is bigger and drops lower.... Okay it will hold up better when I bang it around. I think the 44 will hold up fine if I am regearing downstream of it....$30k better include a Dana 60 with RCV axles
