that's where I would order from as well. I would tack it myself but the drilling is the hardest part I would think. Any idea the size bit is needed to flip it?

3/4" hole, probably a step bit w/ its largest size 3/4" would be the best way to drill it out ? you just cant let it angle at all.

 

Could you throw a picture up of that setup?

 

Order a 3/4" tapered reamer from McMaster Carr. Makes big holes in steel easy, I use them to drill holes in large I beams in the field with a 1/2 drill motor.

 

Here ya go....

x2. Although I think you will need to raise your lower swaybar mounting brackets to clear the driver's side TRE and the draglink TRE on the passenger side.

 

thanks this will be handy if i end up doing this. Much easier than a 3/4 drill bit.

I would just raise the tie rod, the drag link doesn't seem to as prone to hitting anything. Don't know if i need to cut the sway bar brackets for the tie rod.

 

Or get a V8 ZJ from the JY fro $15 and save for 1 ton. As i'm doing. I've had my ZJ tr for a while and its fine.

 

That's what I did, I happened to run across a ZJ with a near new Tierod under it at picknpull. Still had the stickers on it. Best 17$ I've spent on the cherokee.

 

Think that sounds like the best bang for the buck. I've already thought about the goferit flip, probably later though. Does it clear the sway bar link mount? I don't use mine anyway. I broke bolts off in the frame & figured it's not worth time & drill bits to fix. Today I found I also need wheel joints & ball joints. Save $ on ZJ setup to afford fix on the other stuff. Never done ball joints ,hope it's not a nightmare. I have the tool,(harbor freight) wonder how that will workout.

 

Mine took me 2 days for one side. Hub is original '88 so it was the hardest part. Also bought a cheap (i'm sure the same as HF) press and it bent half-way through so that added frustration to the mix but did end up doing the job. Good luck!

 

you only need to raise the drivers side to keep this a easy mod. some people need to cut & raise the sway bar mount , some dont. it usually fits but its close, a little cut/ grind of the bracket should make it clear.
