so here is the setup we have come up on the Axle move forward, we needed 2 more inches to obtain the 10 inches. welded a 2" cap for the upper coil mount and will do a follow up on this design then elongated the axle mount to get it inline perpendicular.cant wait to let you know how this goes.any body else Fab this way?



you can see the 2inch pad added on top of the stock mount.





the elongated spring platform for the lower coil on the axle





let me know if you have seen this fabrication to keep the axle forward.

Lookin good. 10" of lift on a WJ, holy crap. That thing looks huge on 38's. Sucks what happened with the upholstery guy. That really stinks. Keep going I'm curious how it'll handle with 38's & 10" of lift.

Okay so we are on the actual spring HT and thats what is supporting the wt no shocks to get the true Ht. this will allow the steering components measured in correctly.

So this is the look around the Jeep plus 2 inches after the drag bareSteering hydro assist etc is measured and the linkage is in place. I will get one more picture of the set up and we will tear it all down to the chassis to put new Brake lines,rotors turned and painted new brakes, Drive Shafts and U's ,axles painted and put it all back together again then test drive.. completion next week wed..we hope.



The front has the effect I was hoping for mean just mean...





2 more inches in the rear the spacers are not in yet to see the front without the rear spacers and how it would sit this is some crazy science..





well my mirrors are safe...
