Damn, major props for doing that in that drive way. you must be wicked dirty.
Finish up all the mechanical junk and trimming, get a coat of paint on that front bumper, and remove the plastic from the drivers side and shell be looking mint. And front tow hooks.
i will be sure to get those coil spacers out tomorrow before 5pm.

so ya just bolted those homemade bpe's to the jeep in stock locations?
i cant really tell from the pic but if so they don't allow the shock to travel like stock and you will go through bushings often.
and real men wrench in the dirt, none of themsissy new hampshire lifts fer us!

yessir very easy to make em, i dont see how they would hurt the travel in the shock they seem to bolt up as if in stock location but an inch down. and why would i be changing bushings? i have sleeves in the upper  |

What sam means is the pivoting direction of the shock ideally is with the shock eye bolt paraelle to the unibody rail sow it can swing, not perpendicular, where it will bind and wear out shock bushings over time under lots of flexing. Thats why when i finish my mounts and use those sway bar brackets to attach the shocks to the mounts i made the shock eye bolts will be paraelle to teh unibody rail so they can "swing."

just flex out and put them through the range of travel and see how much they twist.

I see my idea to punch out the welded nuts and put new bolts and nuts and washers in worked well.
