They have two different sizes. 1.5" and 2". I got the 1.5's. They should work. But thanks for the heads up.

Hey. Would you mind measuring the O.D. of your mounting cup? Not the flared part at the bottom, but the part above that.

So i know i promised something big for this month so here it is. I picked up a clayton y-link long arm upgrade. It was a little pricey but it is beefy as hell! I would be amazed if i ever bend these arms. Darrel from the local club that i am a part of welded up the crossmember for me so i wana give him a special thanks. While i had everything apart i also put on some new daystar bumpstops. There the perfect size and stop the tire about 3/4" from the fender. And then finally i adjusted my steering stops so i dont tear up the paint on my new arms. Next thing comming is a S.Y.E. and tattons drive shaft. Should be in the mail tomorrow.

Heres out setup for pulling the axle foreward. Probably not the safest thing but it got the job done!

My shocks really limit my travel. I sill have 2" of shock exposed when the front is compressed. So ill eventually grab some longer shocks. Thats all i will be able to get out of it withought running hoops into the engine bay.

Pulled up to this bad *** hummer on the way home. It had mtr's on beadlocks that had rock rash all over them. One of the toughest hummers ive seen.

Fathan16, glad to hear you like em.


ct67, Thanks. Ive been excited about this one. I cant wait for jeep beach at the end of the month to take the jeep on its first real trip and she how she does. It sucks how much my shocks limit my travel though. It still has sooooo much more flex in it.

Its okay, I know the feeling. Im in love with it. Like i said earlier, my shocks really limit it. Only so much shock you can fit on a 3" lift w/o a decent ammount of fabbing.

Great looking Cherokee.
The funny thing is, it would be absolutely illegal if you actually were IN Australia. You can't get away with much lift and bigger tyres over here.
