i was really on edge with it till i saw that pic since i didnt want such a short track bar. honestly i'm fine with my zj tie rod set-up, i just wanted better brakes and didnt want to pay 1k$ for the vanco kit

Nice. Mine is all beat up and ugly, but it's held up nicely. The front gets covered up by the tie rod so you can't see the SOLID, don't paint it lol.

Do the ZJ brakes, they're easy!!

I still need to finish opening the center up so they fit. Ill probably get some rear chromos with my taxes and do the brakes whilst I have the shafts out

Got the rear axle swap done. One of the blender screws was supper clogged so there's still some air in the system. Its a bit spongy but they work. The e brake cables are also different so I currently dont have an e-brake.

The 4.10 feel alright tho. I can accelerate again so that's a plus. I havent took it on the highway yet since I was still testing the brake.

My 1" shackles also wounldnt fit cause the bolt in the relo-boxes was just a hair to big to fit the shackle bushing. So I reused the stock ones for now

I think the rear came out a bit to high. Maybe 2" just with the main leaf and degree shim.

I still need to swap in the new speedo gear. Ill probably do it after work Tommoro.

Gonna do the T-case swap next weekend cause the driverine Vibing pretty bad

Ill snap some pics of my dragster stance tommoro
