Another YJ Build......GenRight Style by caddyman

4 minute(s) of a 64 minute read

The rear is assemblied, here are a few pictures.

I still need to adjust the suspension at ride height, you can see where the bump stop is, should only be 2" away from contact but it's more like 4". I'll finish the adjustment when I finish the front and have all the weight in the Jeep, sliders, gas, gear etc....

Thank you for all the kind words, it's not easy doing this on my garage floor, but I'm making do.

Here's a few of the front end. The worst part of the build is this black under coating that is all over the frame. I'm in socal and not used to having to deal with under coating, using a wire wheel to get it off the frame makes one heck of a mess, guess I'm just a little spoiled.

Here I removed all the OEM brackets from the frame and axle. Cleaned up the frame and prep'ed the frame for the axle. Started welding all the GenRight brackets together and placing them on the frame and front axle.

The three speed transmission was set up that way before I bought it. To be honest I not sure what I would rather have, auto or manual? This is my first Jeep and I almost didn't by it because of the auto transmission but it was a really good deal and I was looking for something cheap because I was going to modify it anyway. My next major project will be to put a LS1,2 or 3 in and I will need to change the transmission. I have friends that run NV4500 and other that run 4l60 or 4l80's. I will just cross that bridge when I get to it.

The SOA kit was also on the Jeep when I got it but the springs are Rubicon Express 1.5", I would say the over all lift is 6-7", I cleared 37" with no problem.

Hope this answered your question, let me know if you have any others. I have taken a lot of detailed pictures along this build, I've only posted a fraction of what I have taken.

The picture I posted is a before picutre with the SOA sitting on 37" Krawlers
