Jaguar rear end info

Re captain scarlet and the 20 pages of info.
He sent it to me and it is definitely well worth the read.
I have altered my diff mounting in my Lincoln based on that info.

Thanks again captain scarlet

 

Just scanned through the threads quickly, we put one in our 39 Willys sedan 28 years ago and its still in there. But you need to get new coil overs for the weight of your vehicle otherwise it will drag its ass.

Contact me, I got some input on that jag rear

 

Has anyone modified thier frame to bolt in the jag rear using the cage and the 4 orignal mounts?

 

bttt

 

Has anyone tried setting a Jag IRS on airbags and could it be done.
Would be interesting to know how.

 

Still nobody with airbags?

 

I have an "S" Type Jag rear under the "T", and not mounted in the cage to give that open feel to it.

 

spit it out already...

 

Reviving this old thread because the '46 Chevy truck I bought in August has a Jag rear end in it. At this writing I have no idea what car it came out of or if its a posi unit. But it is still in the original cage and I found this thread looking for information on replacement, adjustable coilover shocks to raise the rear end in my truck. It is a bit too low in my opinion. Any and all advice on what year/model junkyard Jag I might be able to snag adjustable ride height coilovers out of would be hugely appreciated. If that's not possible, links to good sources for replacement coilovers? I need to replace the rear rotors too as they are grooved; is there any good sources for Jag parts you know of?

P.S. Here's the only photo of my rearend I have (this was before I pressure washed it, sorry). Note the low butt on my truck too. Gotta lift it just a bit.

 

Looks like a very simple task of raising the catch and inch or two.
That way it won't throw out the original set up geometry.
Which would happen if you put in different coil over shocks.


.

 

At the risk of letting my ignorance show, what is "raising the catch"?

 

still waiting on the VERY IMPORTANT info.....

I need to know, I've already put about 7,000 miles on mine this year, wondering about it all the time.... NOT!

 

Huh????

Something you'll have to watch if you change ride height by changing rear springs is rear camber. The rear camber is adjusted by changing shims at the inner end of the halfshaft. I don't know how much camber change there is as the suspension moves, but if I was going to change ride height on one of these I'd start by unhooking the shocks, jacking it to the height I wanted, and then make sure that there's enough adjustment to get the camber right.

 

Soory. Typo. Raising the CAGE.. Thought was was a no brainer really...

 

As I said. lol. Raising the CAGE means everything stays as JAG designed it. No camber change etc.
