So I am realizing how much im gunna have to bust my *** to get this done lol. I have a trip to Rausch Creek planned on the 7th of august. I need to swap in 2 axles, replace u-joints, maybe a wheel cylinder or two, complete steering swap, long arms, 4.5" springs, shocks, bastard pack my leafs, put them in, take out my t-case and put an SYE in there, and then put a new DS in. Lol. I need to go to the JY too to get an hp d30 and a Driveshaft.

I mean i already have my upper rear shock mounts tapped and stuff, and everything with the lift has been taken on and off so that shouldnt be a problem. Its just gunna be alot of work. I CANT WAIT >

looks real good.

how much of a $ difference was it to order all the stuff from Rough Country vs Just ordering an entire 4.5" long arm kit from Rough Country?

Oh I just ordered the track bar from IRO.

BUT, I was gunna just order what I needed separately...but buying the kit is SO MUCH more practical. I needed coil springs, shocks, long arms, and brakelines, and that was 950 bucks. The kit gives you all that stuff a track bar drop pitman arm sweet discos an AAL and a bunch of other cool stuff for 100 bucks more. I am just gunna buy the kit and sell what I dont need . I did the math and I will probably be getting what I need for 600-700 bucks after I sell everything

I come with gifts!

AMAZING day today

We got the entire new rear axle swapped in with new leafs, hardware, brakelines, and shocks today. Then we got the front axle out, cut off the old control arm mounts, and managed to get all the holes drilled and bolt and torque the xmember skid. We got SO much done today and my jeep is friggin HUGE.

Here were the amazing miracles that happened...
1) Didnt break one bolt
2) Went looking for the weirdest sized bolt (leaf bolt 14mm -2.00) and found 4 of them!
3) Got the xmember studs out without breaking them
4) We needed a tap because one of the holes in the unibody didnt have threads in it...well I have ONE tap in my house...and whatdya know, its the EXACT size. It....was......AMAZING.
Before


What it should end up at...lol around 6 inches cause the back has 1.5" shackles. Im gunna need spacers
