I searched the same thing for a couple week man looking for my ZJ sitting at 5.5/6.0.. The few people I found and talked to, it was still pricey how they did it. Extra 70 bucks and had IRO's adjustable shipped to the door instead. Good luck though and I would be interested to see what you come up with if you do build them.

what im thinking of doing.... is cutting my bar right in the middle and centering my axle.... attach both ends to their mounts and measuring the difference and from there welding in a piece of rolled steel.....


Thoughts?

My thoughts are don't do it. Too much liability if something were to happen.
