As a note, if you need adjustable control arms...

You buy the materials and figure out a length, and I can weld

Just scored a Flowmaster 2200124 cat on Ebay for $37 shipped!

I may have to take you up on that if nothing good comes along.

RE lowers, and JKS uppers. Rubber bushings for the links. Just waiting for you to paint.

And some Bilstein shocks for 3.5". They do need bushings, but other than that, I doubt they have 20k miles on them.

I will keep you in mind for these.

Tube adapters square tube and budget joints would be pennies...and.way better than stock arms or any budget arm .

Hey my control arm bung welds held up to full weight drops on Jersey walls with a 6,000 lb Jeep...and I did not have to chase my theeads with a tap after welding ...LOL...I really had to be patient welding those tube adapters not using nuclear settings and letting cool between passes and I made 5 passes each side each arm ...overkill much ?

Mission accomplished. This actually took quite a bit of effort. With the bumper pushed so far in on the drivers side there was almost no room to get at the top bracket bolt. Zero damage to the body/hatch like I thought, so good news there.

I did find this little gem though. I have no intention nor desire to cut and fold, so this will need to be patched.

Sweet, I'll practice on yours first!

The inside panel is OK?

Good chili pepper rear bumper. ......

BUT! It's... not...PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Kittrell]

I looked at that set. $160 and everything is bent and/or missing paint, pass. I already own a dented bumper, I would go for it if they dropped $100 off the price. Good lookin' out though..............:thumbup:

 

[trippled]

Why no cut and fold on the quarters?

 

[Kittrell]

I have flat flares and just have no interest in the cut and fold.

 

[Kittrell]

Snapped these 3.5" RE packs off CL for $125. He said he had 4 messages about them within 30 minutes after I locked the deal. Gotta be quick!

 

[Hypoid]

Very nice!

Make him an offer ya 'tard. Either $20 for the rear bumper only - that dented end won't be visible under the end cap and if it bothers you that bad, smack it with a rubber mallet a couple times and it'll be straight. Or offer $60 for everything and swing by a dumpster with the stuff you don't want. Either way, you end up with the bumper you need for cheap.

The springs/coils/shocks will be new.

Soooo, did we bend our stiff neck?

I like that these RE springs have the big bushings up front.

I just did not expect to find springs in good condition that would be what I needed. No problem buying used if it's what I am looking for.

If anyone had not yet noticed, I was looking for about 3" and 33's. However, above I ended up with 3.5" RE pack, figure a shackle in there for 4.5-5".

Because this. x5 35" Kevlars.

P.S. I am still not driving yet. Exhaust is holding me back.
