Bend? you should run with the threads sticking up, not down. I had 4" and it's the most backspacing i'd recommend, it'll rub with anything else for sure.
Threads are up and I don’t think there’s any chance I’ll bend it, just saying if somehow it happened.
Took the front tires off today to perform the extended brake line mod/install. Until I ripped opened my rockauto 95 YJ lines from their plastic only to find no crush washers with them.
So I had to run to the parts store. This also meant going to Walmart and a craft store with the wife. Ha. So by the time we got back. I had to wrap it up. Will continue efforts tomorrow. I did manage to under coat my front wheel wells.
Not trying to be critical but the alignment of that fender armor is making my agent orange act up!

That’s how it came, not an exact fit. If you made it align with the door line then it would be off on the body line and vise versa. That was the best spot. Looks fine, take some meds.

Got the crush washers from Advanved Auto. Didn’t know the dimensions, so I bought a variety pack. Got the YJ brake lines on and bled them with the help of my lovely wife. PUSH! RELEASE! PUSH! RELEASE!
Also, the lines I got from rockauto were not plug and play. The mounting hole at the top of the YJ brake line was not offset like my stock lines. So the fastner would have ended up obstructing the hard line from connecting into the YJ lines. So I used a 1/4” compression fitting for copper tubing as a spacer to make things work. Worked out well.
Not bad for 3 bucks per line on sale.
Took for a test drive today to verify braking was adequate.

Cleaned up my work bench area. I don’t have any before pictures. But it will suffice to say you couldn’t even see the work bench or the top floor of my tool chest. I cranked up some Six Feet Under on my Bose speaker and went to town. Much better now.
I also managed to consolidate a few boxes and make myself a little part shelf. Every time I go up to the parts shelf I will ask myself “Is this for a Grand Cherokee or Non Grand Cherokee? 2WD or 4WD?”
I will also make sure to have an awkward stare while waiting for answer:
