nice list of stuff you ordered. ive already got a few of those items, jsut need to get the rest then i can start my WJ swap too.
Just called Anthony and gave him a heads up on this, but in case anyone else is looking to copy his setup the new version of the RE1665 has a 1/2" bolt hole. So the Flex joint will need that same 1/2" size.

BFH will make a 1/2" bolt fit through a 12mm hole. Or jsut run a 1/2" drill bit through to make it work

ross, that was mostly to you a BFH would not make it work through the flex joint though. the hole in the flex joint is 12mm, and the bracket is 1/2" it's .028" difference. not much, but i wouldn't BFH my brand new joints. when you call, just ask him to take care of that and he'll do it no problem :thumbsup:

some goodies came in...
i took the 2 boots off of the rears because i could just slide them over the bottom eye... but the front shocks i need to cut them and i'm not sure i want to yet, but i think i will. the rears measure at a little less than 9.5" of travel... didn't look too close.

the double threaded adjuster for my trac bar came in today...
also took off my stock uppers and fixed lowers. got the body side of the control arms mounted and not much else. put the 7/8" spacers and adam's old springs in.
what's left for this week (realistically)
connect control arms and get it driveable
go out, get D30 axle seals, angle finder, hockey pucks
set caster
set up bump stops
change D30 seals
change exhaust manifold
refabricate front bumper mounts
change rear shocks and fix passenger side upper mount.
not really that much considering how much time i have.
ps thanks again travis. (and bill, you too)

some pictures of last week's progress
old and new (and my boot)
ride height
remote res mounted, seam cut and folded, SS line and new hard line
final product. that's full droop and limitted only by the LCA bracket. i cut/ground as much away as i felt safe. after i put the hockey pucks in, i'll have about 10" travel bump to droop.
