Wow man... definitely following this. Mine is a '92 as well.... this is pretty much what I have in mind for it... maybe a little more low COG though.

Thx. I am starting to plan some tube fenders so depending how they turn out I may be able drop it some. We will see it works good as is so not that big a deal.

Man, if it works for you I wouldn't worry about it. Seems like your setup is solid and functions very well.

Yes it does work get and I like how it sits. Some days I am feeling a little old and climbing up gets
A little old after a long day on the trail. A lot will depend on how the fenders come out and the look of it before I do any lowering. It's not my DD anymore so not too big of an issue.

Started another stage. This time on the brakes and steering. I am doing the wj knuckle and brake swap like I did on the wife's Tj. So I pulled it in and got it in jack stands. Here are a couple pics. A before and then with the knuckle and steering removed.

This is a good time to do balljoints if they are questionable.

No the front is a currie d44 I picked up used Xj width. The d60 was out of old ford. I got lucky it was within a 1/4 in of Xj width so not custom work done other than perches welded on.

You need to get that spacer welded on....preferably TIG welded.
