Thats the going rate around here for what I bought. I have a metal shop local that will do little things like that for me because my shop has an account there.

Corey, at full compression does you lower arm hit your unibody? I was planning mine out and it looks like at full compression my arm may hit the "frame".

I was planning mine out and it looks like at full compression my arm may hit the "frame". i will know this tomorrow. i took this weekend off cause its cold and tomorrow it will be 50 + so i don't have to waste oil to heat the garage. i have to finish the trackbar so i can test it out. |

thats good news, looked like it would be wicked close, especially if the mounts were right under the frame

just drove it around my driveway, everything seems great except its creaky, when the body moves the jeep makes a sound like errr arrrr, errr arrrr. i think it is the j-joints seeing how they are brand new. i'll find out later when i take a trip out somewheres. anybody have that sound?  1.5 .25 wall is a bitch to bend fyi (trackbar) things to do: make upper link ( passenger side) things to do, finish shock mount (passenger side) fix brake line i broke (passenger side) weld plate to frame around where crossmember is, just to be safe put some paint on everything, oh and the entire rear of the truck as soon as i get brake parts. it sits perfectly level with the front at 4.5 and the rear at 2". In the end the rear will be between 1-2 inches higher than it is now, pics later on. |
