keep it

i'd try to incorporate some of those things now while you have the shell empty, seems like it would be much less work in the long run.

I have these made for shocks that I have, and kind of made specifically for my rig. If you want to build around my towers, I could probably be able to make another set. Just have to pay for material and shipping, etc.

I've been looking into possibly getting some from boostwerks, but options are always good. How to you plan to mount the shock on the axle?

if you do some googling around (i know its on pirate, ill try to find it later if I have time), there's a factory sent from a ford truck I believe, that a lot of people use. And they're cheap.

Do y'all think there is any option that wouldn't need a cross bar? I would prefer to keep the elements out and not have a bar that blocks the cargo space if I need to put something big in the back.

I've got four of them I've been considering selling if anyone comes down by Frederick, MD. Might be ready to start building tons by the time I actually get my YJ back on the road, and I don't see myself really needing the towers

I saw a write up with the Ford ones without a cross brace in a Cherokee and tons of wranglers without bracing. I don't see why if it was a plated frame welded to the shock towers that are fairly thick to the wheel wells it wouldn't be enough. I just don't see shocks really putting that much force on things.
