snapped a few pics of the finished product.....kinda. still have to brace the mounts some.
so far there is absolutly no noise from the hiems...it rides pretty good. i have a little wander, but im sure its from my caster. i have it set at 6 deg, and prob need to go to 7 or 8.
upgraded my upper control arm bolts at the axle to 1/2 grade 8's from the stock tooth picks
i also need to flip the frame side joints on my lowers so the grease zerk doesnt get ripped off.
lowers are made with 2x2 1/4 wall tubing with ballistic poly joints at the axle and 2.63 flex joints at the frame.

Real nice job, real beefy looking setup.
i think i may lower the jeep 2 inches. its at right around 6-7 inches of lift. i want it at 4-5.
once i finish up with bumpers, sliders, and a cage, it may sag down that much.

I was going to buy a premade long arm kit but I think I'd prefer to save the cash and built it myself.

i have a little under $400 into it. i could have made it a little cheaper if i built my own lca mounts, but the ballistic ones are nice and made it easier.
