Got a bit done...
In this picture you can see where the ballistic lower CA mounts are... i will not be using these because they wont work. I will be making my own
This is almost exactly where the axle will sit in relation to the body
This is most likely how far the rear axle will be pushed back, it may go back farther depending on what i decide....
My work put my on 7-10's (10.5 hour shifts, 7 days a week) instead of half assing **** i will be waiting until my schedule changes back to normal, that way i can do things right. I am saving up right now, all funds will go to the jeep
The rear is tacked together all i need to do in order to finish it up is get some lower CA joints, and tubing depending on what joints i go with. And i have to make some misc. brackets as well. I plan on finishing that here in the next two weeks.

Ya that seems to be the best route! just sucks cause of their bad customer service, & waiting on there shipping. Looking around though it looks like the best bang for your buck!
This is gonna be a pig when you're done!!!

Also found a Dana 70 with discs and dual piston calipers at the local jy for 150$. I may end up getting that and using it instead of my sterling I don't know yet. And...... I found a ford HP Dana 60 for 300$ that I may get as well... lots of thinking to do.
