Full width jag axle is rather wide?..later jags are outboard discs..which means more weight bouncing up n Down on the wheel end ?..you can email me with your sketch ?

Shocks set up just need to lower the back end down. Also going to reduce the width of the axle by about 3" each side

Coo, you've been busy.
What's holding the drive shafts at that angle & giving you the positive camber Tel? Just the shocks? -will moving the bottom mounts allow the axle to settle? Would that lower the bike too far?

Yes it just the shocks holding it up. by putting smaller or lowering them will allow the back to come down bringing the wheel back in.
I'm waiting for some gl1100 air shocks to arrive so I can set them up have a looks.
This is what I'm looking to achieve  Grin But not the shinny look Cheesy just the ride height

Well you could always mount the shocks on (longer bolts obviously ) the bottom hub ( outer ) especially if you shorten the wishbones ?

Don't forget you will need some panard rods to stop the lower wishbones from moving about ?

Thanks Mate. I am going to fit them  Smiley,

It looks like the xj6 axle didn't have them fitted. may be because the wish bones are different oval in shape and the hub tips back slightly
or the cradle helped stabilize them

Maybe the anti roll bar I can see did the same job ?

The shocks came today so made the lower mounts while I'm waiting for my mate to give the axle cradle some deep penetration with his rods  Shocked .then I can start to put this together. hope to have it back on the road for Popham mega bike meet in August.
