May as well do it all while I'm in there. Snagged an S-10 steering box and a ZJ master cylinder at the jy yesterday. Busy next couple of days.

Got everything in. Got more engine vibrations with the motor mounts but its worth it. Brakes are awesome. Significant difference. Steering box has no slop and is very touchy. Got to keep my eyes on the road a lot more now. Look down for a second to change the radio and the next thing you know your off the road. The Dorman pipe. Think I may have lost some power. Too soon to tell. Jeep was down for a week and I drove my big block around. Now I feel like I'm in a slow moving vehicle getting back in the Jeep. Will let you guys know when I'm ready to open up the throttle if its me or the pipe.

Got my wheel spacers machined out to fit my new locking hubs. Just need to get my rotors turned and new pads. Tax season smells like gears.

Got my axle prepped for a truss. My arms are still vibrating from all the grinding. Also ordered new spicer ball joints. Sold some stocks. Waiting for that to go through then ordering up a truss.

Ordered an IRO truss today. Got a decent discount because I referred a couple of people and had previous orders. Going to pick up some new axle seals and UCA bushings tomorrow. Anybody Know the part number for the axle side UCA bushings?

Parts are piling in. Going to burn in the truss in the next week or two. Just waiting on Uncle Sam so I can order the gears.

Ian. Mine came with six spring retainers. I checked the inventory sheet that came with. It says 4 are lower coil spring retainers and 2 are upper coil spring retainers.

I didn't order those separate, I just made/welded a skid onto the bottom of factory ones. I would imagine so yes!
