Need Help Dog Leggin'
Friday, February 25, 2005 6:09 PM
Looking to Dogleg with Strut Bags in the front and air cylinders in the rear.... It's close to dog legging just looks like something is holding it back, I was told to remove the front sway bar to allow the car more flexibility..... would it work.... and is it worth it??? or should I add more valves??



FOR SALE

I can dog log sometimes, but my air tank has to be completely full, and I have to be on a flat surface, I'm sure there is some way of me being able to do a better one, but I have yet to find it. I still have my factory front sway bar up front.

hook up a set of valves backwards to what they are on the rears to the bottom port, and put a switch on them to turn them on and off. Just think about it and it'll come to you.

I've been wondering, is it harder to dog log with bigger wheels? Logic would say yes, but I guess it would be better to say, is it harder to dog leg with heavier wheels? I would imagine so....

If you have cylinders in the rear the size o the wheel doesn't matter cause you actually have preassure pulling the wheel up just like when you push the wheel down.

First off all. You get a better dogleg if you start with all 4 corners down.

Then simply lift opposite corners.

WIth rods when you start all the way down there should be a good amount of vacume in the cylinder to help hold up the rim.

I get my best dogleg on the drivers side rear. SO I first lift front drivers side all the way up. THis will actualy pull my driver rear off the ground just a tad bit.
THen I lift the passanger rear and this get it off the ground more.


I say start with car all the way down first because of the vacume effect. Even with bags its helps but not as much as cylinders. If my rim is in the air and I put pressure in that bag to make it touch ground. It will not come back up off the ground when I let the pressure out. Because it dosnt have that vacume in the bag created when starting with car down on all 4 corners.

I cheated by rolling front corner off the driveway in this one

Flat ground

I had some more when I was cheating off of an incline and had it way up but cant find them.


I am all that is man
