^^^ ThatÆs the exact same observation that I made this weekendà


The 1995.5 - 1997 gen 1.5s, and the 1998+ second gens all have longer A-arms than the earlier Rodeosà They also have equal length CV Shafts that are (I believe) somewhat longer than the longest of the two shafts on the earlier versions. --- This translates into reduced CV angles when the T-Bars are crankedà Particularly when compared to the shorter of the un-equal length shafts on the older modelsà mine are almost flat!

If I were to install a set of Drop Dif Brackets on mine, I would probably have to dial-in a little more lift in order to raise the CV anglesà With a 1.5-inch difference over what I have right now, IÆm almost certain that they would be angled just a little bit upward.


Based on what Doug (Bansil) said about their 1998, it sounds like the same basic circumstances apply to yours.

(I think IÆm gonna pass on the whole Anti-Squat thing, and just stick to the Drop Dif part of the conversation)


If you do decide to install a set of Drop Dif Brackets - over and above the modifications that you mentioned above - in all likelihood, you will probably have to crank your T-Bars a bit more than they are right now. --- YouÆll gain some lift, but loose an equal amount of down-travel in the process. --- Of course, as a result, you might also be getting yourself into æover-extended rack and pinionÆ territory.

IÆm really not sure about that one, but itÆs something to consider.
