yeah that sounds about right...
friend of mine just got done doing a set of h1s on 38.5" sx's

they turned out real well... just heavy but they are cheap and hold up well

hell yea, those look awesome

14 bolt has spring perches on now, and all other brackets cut off. now im cleaning it up, getting the shock mounts set, and getting everything painted. this things a BEOTCH to move by yourself.

all my brake parts for the disc brake swap...

picked up a hydro assist as well:

and took my bumper off and cut the mounts shorter...still needs a bit more welding (this will help with approach angle):

Looks good. It'll be nice to see it under the XJ.

1st coat of primer:

fully welded tubes to center section as well:

painted...and you can kinda see the shave on the bottom

 

[JeepAddict85]

having issues with the calipers...im leaking brake fluid where the lines go in, but other than that the rear is pretty much done. top of the hatch is around 6 an a half feet from the ground...

looks good.... and have fun sanding that desert paint off.... it was a beotch on that set of re centered h1s.... they had to be media blasted. my sandblasting cabinet laughed at me... haha

its looking good.

i need to build a set of shackle re locaters on my jeep....

 

[JeepAddict85]

eh, ill probably just scuff the paint up a bit and spray them black...not really concerned how good they look, just as long as they work. those are brianho's brackets...i got lucky during the setup, first try my shackle angle came out pretty good.

 

[256offroad]

yeah we had to rid the paint so we could torch the centers out.

yeah i have contemplating just buying his brackets but ive got enough time and spare metal to build some.

:thumbup: looks sweet, don't know if you noticed but you have a small scratch on your rear gate

Did you use the copper crush washers where needed on any banjo bolts and whatnot? I've gotten away without before but I think I got lucky

Also, that thing is beastly.

yep, it came with them. the brakes are for a 1975 k20 front axle...all the parts should work together fine (heck they are all new). i ordered some new an-4 90 degree fittings and some ss lines, ill give those a shot and return the factory style softlines.

done a bit more...

made some jackstands to make my life easier:

front axle is out...and i did full frame stiffeners

just gotta weld on the other RK mount, then its onto the front axle.

 

[JeepAddict85]

did a bit of work on the front axle...now im fighting 25 year old u joints...

 

[kastein]

did you flip that image or is that a passenger drop axle? I'm confused because your driveline is hanging on the driver side in the other pics, unless you are swapping to pass drop and just haven't changed that over yet.

EDIT: (yeah, you probably said this earlier, maybe I should read the rest of the thread again)
