I was going to work on my tube/armor flares today and decided i didnt have room on my fab table. to many projects sitting on it that where done but not installed. so i figured id install my shackle relocation boxes and my new rear shocks (doestch DT8000s). I was very pleased with the results after a little modification

 

tested. I still need to work on my front but i gained 2.5 inches of rear droop on both sides

 

While i was testing i figure out a design flaw so i had to modify. ended up gain 3 total of droop. I hope to get my front done in the next week because it is now waht is stoping me from flexing well. Here is the mod but no pics of the re-test

 

The ride improvement was awesome. My shop is out on gravel and there is alot of wash board on it that was geting really rough. It still is ruff but now instead of all the shock being sent through the body of my jeep the spring and shock do what they are supposed to. And the doestchs are fing bad

 

o yeah it is mounted with 2 (soon to be 3) 1/2 x 1in grade 8 bolts, and a 4.5 x 9/16s grade 8 bolt.

I only ended up gaining 3/8s of lift (good thing) with these boxes so i am sitting at 5.5 in the rear at the moment

 

NICE dude I wasn't sure what was goin on in the head of yours from the first pics, but it all came together nicely in the end!!! I wish I had a donor XJ to use for mock up.

 

when i break something i dont buy a part, i buy a jeep. Cheaper in the long run. There are parts from 4 or 5 cherokees on mine, all where bought for what i needed then parted out or traded. I will buy almost any cherokee under $500 around here take what ever i want, and generally make $300-$500 on top of what i spent for it in parts

 

So your run a cherokee chop shop!?!? lol nice

 

i fix some, but not many. If they are nice i will sell them to the right person. lets just say alot of my buddies have 2+ cherokees

 

all the work on the back end yesterday i decided on a new project i wasnt planning on yet. only had about an hour to dink anround to day but here is the start.











If i moved this up 7inches what else do youthink i am guna move up? it will be awhile before i actually get to it (3-4 weeks) but it should be kinda cool

 

You got a lot of projects going on right now! A.D.D. maybe??? lol just messin man!

 

Cheap entertainment. if i could get an 8.8 and sye bought it would get real bad real quick. I go back to work tuesday so money should start being my friend again but time will be an issue. still shooting for memorial day for almost done date(minus long arms)

 

Still tring to make room on my fab table. didnt sleep much last night so here is the benifit of not being able to sleep.

rockers/rock slides. 2x6 1/4in wall tubing

 

other side is done but didnt feel need to take pictures as it is identical to this side

 

To get my control arm drop brackets on i need different control arms lengths than what i have now. Guna try to get drop brackets and arms on tomorrow. Here are my homemade beefy uppers and lowers. I went with fixed ones because i am guna be making long arms some time soon so couldnt justify the cost

first picture is my upper verse a stock upper (stock one is cut but you get the idea
