Welp, Im a bit overdue on an update and Id like to keep this thread going as it is complete as to what has been done to the jeep over the last few years.
My Radflo 16" coilovers for the rear came, I have teraflex speedbumps and synergy cans coming now, and am in the process of building the chassis.
I got it cut to where I was happy and finally got building.
Used 2x4x.188" rectangle tube to make stub frame rails after cutting the stock "frame" out of the last 18" of frame stiffener in order to sit flush and level.
These are what the upper links mount to, and what the lower tube x-member will be mounted to.
Ill let the pics do the rest of the talking.


got it outside, cleaned up, and turned around

Got all of the mounts in, minus gussets for now and cleaned up a little. I had to cut the lower mount in half and separate it a bit to clear the driveshaft.

Well, I've actually made a little bit of progress in between other work and its starting to look like something again.
Will have a set of radflo air bumps here tomorrow and the tube for the links Monday and she will be rolling. Will be nice to get it out, clean up and have a little more room to work while I wait for some more tube.

What is the separation of the front upper link brackets and the length of your arms?
Thanks.

The rear separation at the frame, upper-upper, lower-lower and vertical upper-lower.

If the front is 4 linked triangulated, What is that dimensions? link lengths, separation.

The axle separation is what it is, where it fits on the axle.
Just trying to get some 4 link measurements that work for mocking up on a project.
Thanks.

Vertical separation at the frame is 4" in the center holes of the upper link bracket. It can be +/- 1.5"
Upper horizontal separation is 28.5"
Lower is about 8".


Of course your frame side vert separation is dependent on axle side to get correct AS. My links are also within an inch of each other in length
