Hi I recently moved and left my job to work full time on my Xj project :dunce:
I'm cutting the back as for now, waiting on my DOM tubes and its going along great. I removed the rockers including the floor from the frame rail and out, even cut the bottom of the door... replaced by a custom piece of 3/16".
the questions are:
1. if I brace the thing with a... lets say 2"x4" steel square tube length wise inside the truck and I shoot some 1" squares to my new rockers and the centre tunnel, will the jeep fold in half when I'll completely remove the frame section between the wheels (forward to leaf bracket) (before the front goes up) ?
2. I have a RE 5.5 Long arms installed, if I ONLY disassemble the arms from the crossmember (for it to be removed for modification) will my front axle go "asta la vista" and the jeep faceplant?
any experience greatly appreciated
(pictures coming
