Long arms/full width done *pics*

What D44 did you use, Waggy?
 
Looks good Billy. I know that with a little tweaking here and there you will be happy with your setup for years to come. What width were those axles 69" WMS to WMS or 65"? Are you going to run some wide flares to keep the cops of your back?

Thanks! The rear is 65.5" and the front is 68.5" WMS to WMS. I'm going to run some removable mud flaps and hopefully that'll be sufficient.

Nice work Freak! The yellow really stands out and makes the arms look twice as long.

Hey Billy, how about a picture of the whole Jeep now? Let us see what it looks like overall. Or do we have to wait until it's not on cement?

Looks like it'll be a success after I get my High Angle Driveline :D

what's HAD going to do? put a CV on the axle end?

that's some crazy forward bow on the coils, do you anticipate any problems?


oh, and nice shocks :laugh3:

PS: you can get 4 14 or 15 inch travel ES9000 shocks from Summit right now for a few dollars over a hundred.

That is pretty wild; any ill effects from what you can tell so far? Other than that, it looks really good; clean.

Yeah, CV joint at both ends. The coils are angled, but they're not going anywhere and I cut and rewelded the bumpstop so that they wouldn't bind. Got the shock mounts done this evening :)

Eh... as you can see, it doesn't look scary on the stuffed or drooped side when it's fully flexed, and it doesn't ride wierd or anything. The way I see it, it's only going to decrease the resale value of my coils :laugh2:

I know this is a little OT but what are you using for your tie rod ends?

Your suspension and everything looks great! Can't wait to see what you did for the shock mounts.
