Finally got some front recovery done. local friend made these for me..

i had installed these on another friend's jeep, so i already had the measurements.

driver's side bracket is a little lower, so need to redrill holes a bit, to raise it to match.


otherwise, came out pretty good.

first thing's first! i HATE the xj shackle angle, so that is the first thing i changed on this build.
ordered some HDOE relocation brackets, and installed w/some help from HUDFAB.


angle is so much better, and even w/crappy worn out leafs, the ride improved, and i got some height back.

Looks awesome man! I highly suggest trimming off your front bumper, air dam, plastic thing, "for lack of a better name", and move your lights to the top of your bumper. I did it on my xj and love it. Also, how well do those sliders work? I thought just bolting a thick piece of steel to the rocker wouldn't hold up?
