Well got a little closer to getting it a roller.
brother cutting access.for upper link mount.
had to break down all ghetto beads and get some sealer on there. took a while to get em all done at home, but i got it done. plus i practically stole these red labels so i wasn't too upset about the work.
Im fighting with myself on a decision maybe you guys can.help out with.
I am not sure if I should just get shocks to run through the factory placement on inner fender. Or if I should build a hoop that ties into the exo/framerail.
Eventually I want coilovers up front and not sure if I.should wait to build hoop when i get those.....
thoughts??

Run normal shocks in the normal location for now and go wheeling. Build hoops later.

x2.
Not worth the hassle if you plan on coilovers later on. You'll end changing your mind on the mounts and whatnot anyway.

x3, the coilovers likely wont go where the shocks are. mine went where the springs were.

what length coilovers do you have in the rear? 14"?
14" yessir.
Rough ride height and stance....
110" WB will be how she measures for now. Rear might end up going back another inch or two. Will have to see how tires clear at stuff. Front will have hardly any uptravel. Mostly due to the fact I forsee clearance issues with driveshaft on inner frame rail..... any of you folks run into that issue with running a 60?
Shot to show width on rear. Give or take about an inch....

Front driveshaft on inner frame rail...? How?
What year 60 is that?
I have an '89 in mine and the front driveshaft got close to the driver's side floor but was way far away from the frame.

Worst case you can always splice up an OBD1 harness if you really decide you hate RENIX. It's only about 16-18 wires to make the engine, fusebox, and whatnot run and another dozen or so for horns, wipers, front lighting etc.
RENIX is no reason to turn down a good jeep.

Sorry, that went to completely the wrong thread. I don't even remember what thread it was supposed to go to. I r good with computers :dunce:

Ok so got some work done recently. Rear is now sitting on its own weight which has me stoked. Once I can get the coil buckets welded in place I can have front on its own weight as well. So I am getting suuuper anxious. (then itll sit til I get more parts n suched afforded and installed.
But how she sits now. Im right at 109" wb. 23" belly height, 27" rocker height, front and rear overall widths are 80" and 79" respectively.
found out that despite my concerns my front driveshaft will clear just fine. so thats a huge relief
Here is my clearance on things, this is Just about ride height. Should be +/- 1"
And here is a shot of the front brackets with everything bolted/mocked up.
Im feeling pretty happy with it and hope to get a little more finished tomorrow.

Well I don't have much in the way of pics but here is what i got done today.
Sleeved and extended track bar to maintain as much thread contact as possible on the joint. also finally got the coil buckets welded onto the axle. which means the entire rig is on its own weight (woooooooooo).
I pushed the rear back about 1.5" and am considering going another inch or so back. Also pretty sure imma ditch the antirock and run no sway bar.
only relevant pic. Looks same but jeep is on its own weight. small stands are under the axle to catch weight when air pressure leaks down.
