so, cross roads here...

1. My RE bushings are cracking again so my jeep dances back and forth w/ the curvature of the road and ive been putting off a 4 link for a while...

2. I just picked up the cutting brake and could really use a 4:1 tcase...

3. my wheelin style has grown, and so have the obsicles i enjoy, a cage needs to be in my future soon...

All would be dancing around 1k max with 1 and 2 having the option to get some return by selling current parts. opinions?

Got some updates for everybody. finally got my bushings from RE so its time to pull my rear end apart and do some stuff ive been puttin off. The agenda includes relocating my coil buckets so my bump stops actually hit my bump pads and my coils arent curved, redo my upper shock mounts for the 12" shocks and obviously finally replace my control arm bushings. PIcs are crappy cell pics bc i no longer have access to a digital camera. sorry...

k, pics will come eventually, my phone is being dumb and wont send my pics to photobucket... ill update em when they load...

here we go...

old position:


New one, the bump stop sits squarely on my coil retainer pad now:


Cut the top off the old ford shock tower, this thing wouldnt even fit at ride height! they are huge! (not sure why its rotated, its right on photobucket...)


Cardboard mock up of new tower:


and new tower, need to cycle the susp to place the upper position, thatll happen in the morning:


still havent done the bushings lol...
