OTK WJ knuckle swap. What could go wrong?

[StinkyFab]

I've lifted many a vehicle that way, never had an issue. Way back in the day when I built my first buggy I got it all done and couldn't figure out how to get it off the table. Ended up lifting one end up and putting it on jackstands that were on a stack of wood blocks, then engine hoisting the other end, rolling the table out of the middle and put the wheels on. It was sketchtastic.

EDIT: Found the pic

cribbing is a legitimate practice!

yea, but was yours hooked through the eye of the winchline, which is not rated for lifting?

 

[StinkyFab]

no it was hooked to a random piece of chain with unknown weight rating.

 

[rockclimber]

also ghetto... but less so.

What part numbers did you use for the drag link ends? In your notes you said you only used left hand ES2027. Did you use 2 left hands or??

pete,
ES2026R should be your right hander.

if i am not mistaken, both are high angle, and both require a slightly larger taper.

I apologize if I missed all this but two questions:

1. How did you index the track bar mount prior to welding?
2. Did you add sway bar mounts?

I am in the middle of this upgrade - well done!!
