Thanks man I'm going to get my order in tonight for the low profile rail since my car has lowering springs. I just need to get my damn kids asleep they ate like two pounds of candy eachHope that helps. Here are some comparisons.
Regarding the bolding TJ, I'll jump on that grenade.Thanks for the feedback, E.
We have sold many, many of these units & countless positive reviews on Mustang 6G & our distributor's websites ... one would think we would have seen/heard about cantilever - I'll have to keep my eye out for that first review on the subject.
We found that right length needed to support the vehicle safely, as proved by our image in the instructions with two people sitting in the trunk of the car.
TJ, what were the pivot (or stand) dimensions that you used in your math? And how far apart from each other? My guess would be that your calcs assume the widest stance possible with your rails.Expanding upon your moment calculations, we solve for an unknown force at the front/rear using the corresponding jack stand as the fulcrum. Using all of the same values you used (to stay consistent), adding in a few other measurements and assumptions (additional lengths and jack stand positions), and crunching the numbers, you get that you would have to add 1168 lbs. to the front or 684 lbs. to the rear in order for your S550 Mustang to begin to pivot.
...The jacking rails are just that - JACKING rails. In most cases, people do not put the jack stands along the rails and instead elect to position them along the subframes both front and rear, as well as on our patented Steeda IRS Support Braces which conveniently comes with a jack standpoint that actually sits further back than any jacking rail.
Overkill can save lives when the unexpected suddenly hits. And probably the one time redundancy is actually welcomed - when it comes to safety.You guys are great at math. And I like a good internet battle. But I think the real problem is on an uneven surface, like at the track or my driveway or pretty much anywhere I seem to use these things. Wrestling with a transmission or whatever would freak me out with stands close together. Probably because I’m not so good at math. . .
Thank you TJ. I know where you are, been there, started off racing Burnett’s Steeda CMC car and even have your parts on front and back of my current race car. :first:Snaproll,
You are close to our Pompano Beach, FL location - if you are in the area, consider this an open invite to come by & check them out!
TJ
How can you do L to R with directional treads?
We appreciate your feedback & support.Thank you TJ. I know where you are, been there, started off racing Burnett’s Steeda CMC car and even have your parts on front and back of my current race car. :first:
But I do think you should consider offering those things full length. :cheers:
