Re: finally lifted my jeep.

Sadly ots seen only a couple dirt roads but has more than enough flex for any trail I plan to hit also has been a great riding setup.
Sitting on a 35" tire.

Re: finally lifted my jeep.

For your track bar, did you cut the frame side mount and rotate so it could be mounted in double shear? What mounting bracket did you use? Any tips for doing this, this is high on my to do list.
 
Re: finally lifted my jeep.

I called currie and got a new ball for the joint that had both ears (p/n: 91102-16mm) then I talked walt into giving me a hand modifying the mount knowing two heads were better than one and hes help build many good rigs. We did some measurements to get the joint where it needed to be on the height and front to back making up for the extra stretch I did when we mid armed the jeep.
