finally got my duplex remodel done and a few other things i needed to get done out of the way. now i have some free time to get back to jeep stuff.
Im tired of driving around the station wagon looking xj for a dd so im guna put the 6.5in lift of this pig on my dd. (hopefully next weekend)
well in preparation for this i need to get all the parts off this one. this one has alot of travel and is kinda tall so i have to use high lift jacks to get it up high enough to take wheels off ground. mine works good but i borrowed a buddies that he hasnt used in awhile. Fail.
any way. quick way to lower a jeep

i re enforced the axle side.
Those are custom built drop brackets. there not guna brake. i know the builder/welder quite well
and as far as back braces i doubt if i put any on this jeep. my other one i built slides

yea, thats what i had in mind... something angled from the bottom of the brackets to the crossmember
not so much worried about the drop brackets bustin apart, but the 'frame' side factory lower arm mounts look to be the weak link in dropping the CAs

yj for rear up to 4in. 97 dakota rear for 4+. dont think engine matters
front 96-98 chevy .5 ton with diesel engine. didnt make many but it will pull up others and they almost always have in stock
i always buy new flare ends and instead of tring to unbolt them i always just cut and flare the new on. 95% of the tinme you have to anyway so just do it from the get go
