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.
Keep me posted on the flag nuts. I will be ordering them if they work well for you.

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


Grimace; The purple haze.-image-1532723435.jpg

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

You'd have a deal if it wouldn't cost an arm, leg, and nut for you to ship it to me. I could actually use an 8.25 carcas. Move your **** down south!
