JKS front bar pin eliminators arrived along with Rough Country's rear shock flag nuts. I'm not even gonna attempt to get the rear upper bolts out. Probably easier and quicker just to punch out the weld nuts.
I think I need some adjustable upper control arms, rear bump stops, and few misc small stuff before the lift kit is ready for installation.

So today I got a pile of parts from a guy parting out a jeep.
$80 total

Ax15 crossmember. (I read that it ll give 3/4" drop without sacrificing belly clearance). I have aw4 crossmember laying around. I can do comparisons.
4 adjustable control arms. (Uppers and lowers)
99+ intake manifold and throttle body. (Gonna sell it to a buddy and probably gonna bore out the throttle body too.)
Np231. (It ll be a donor case for my HD build... 6 gear planetary, wide chain conversion, along with teraflex 2low kit and a sye.)
Sway bar with quick disconnects on it.
Solid covers for a Dana 30 and Chrysler 8.25. (Not sure if it's gonna be left alone or painted purple)
New-ish hub bearings with axle shafts still attached to it.

haha nah they are staying with the axles when I sell them... I plan to convert the rear 8.25 to disc brakes and relocate the shock mounts, then reinforce the d30 first. U can be the first on the waiting list. Haha

Lucky bastard!
I would have happily paid $100 just for the covers. I'll give you $60 for the 8.25 one.
