Slowly making progress. Front suspension is almost done. All that's left is to do the trackbar and get two 1/2" bolts of a certain length for the sway bar links.
Happened to have two brand new coil isolators left over from racejeep. Here's new vs. old
Front shock
Moog progressive rate coil spring, Monroe SensaTrac shock, and new sway bar link.
Problem... Nut sheared off of stud. Stud stuck in bracket.
Solution. Angle grinder, many drill bits of various sizes, and two different size drills, and an air hammer.
General idea of what it should look like with turbines. This is not ride height. Floor jack maxed out and couldn't go higher, so I couldn't get the full vehicle's weight on the springs.

It's just a stock boring Jeep.... Haha. Removing a 3" lift and 31s and putting on stock stuff.. Sounds kinda backwards lmao
Front suspension is D.O.N.E. put 1" spacers on it because we had them laying around and they give it the look I'm after. Just needs an alignment now. Time for the rear end.

Well I'll be damned..... It's a semi-float axle which means it must be a d44... This is awkward haha.

Yeah. Part of the reason why I'm slightly confused. The cover looks d35, but the brakes look d44 and it has shaft retainers indicating that it's a semi-float axle...
Were d35 axles ever made in a semi-float version? I thought they were all c-clip...

I would donate mine since I just got a bb kit if a buddy but I don't know when I'll be putting it on due to all of time and equipment. Could be up to a month.
