Got the housing cleaned up and tubes welded. Now I am in a bit of a dilema tho.

MOAR BIGGER AXLE
setting her up
booger welds, wish I had did them in one pass instead of 2
checking shock clearance, the ruffstuff perches and plates are BIG
pinion angle set to 1.5-2 degree down
dana 30 R 4.56:1 so tiny front gears up next and bumpstops
Big Shout outs to Ruffstuff Specialtys for the swap parts AWESOME BEEF
IRO for great shock mount for a very fair price
and Rons Machining Service for super fast shipping on gears

How are these working out for you? I noticed you put them back on the Jeep.
I like the idea simple and effective.
My problem is with there only being one bolt at the top, does the bracket not pivot? Also if you got any drawings or dimensions let me know. I'd like to make some myself.
