Yeah they do, since the axle end lower brackets I ordered from ballistic fab won't work with how I'm setting it up- I will be making my own and using a 9/16 hole so I can get more misalignment... that's the new plan anyways. Ya ballistics shipping sucks! So does their customer service!

ok you've got me confused now, how does a smaller bore get you more misalignment? i've never heard that before.

So i'm contiplating this moab trip in oct. I actually have that weekend off from everything. Couple of questions though, would there be someone I could ride with since I'm nowhere ready to run moab in mine and where are you guys staying? If I go i'd be happy to help with fuel with who ever I ride on the trails with. I'd drive my own rig down cuz I will have to head home sunday to be back to work monday.

Well I rearended a car today on my way to work, and it was a flipping jeep! Dam wranglers..... messed up his pretty little chrome tube bumper, so in order to keep cops and insurance out of it I offered to build him one. Problem is that I am working 7 days a week for the next couple weeks and barely have time to work on my own ****. SO,if anyone has a 90's wranglers rear bumper laying around or know someone that does and will trade it or let it go for cheap let me know.... funny thing is my Honda only got a dent on the front license plate ha ha
