i would get longer bolts
I am, just forgot to pick up the hardware when I was at home depot earlier. I stacked a few washers beneath the drag link to help raise it up, but I'll definitely need to get a high steer arm spacer due to the amount that it needs to be raised.
The bedlining looks good in the tub robbie, thnx for letting me borrow ur battery today :gigem:
tub looks good.. any left over? i would do the fender wells while your at it.. CJ did and it looked good.
oh and grab some red paint and finish that cage while the seats are out :flipoff2:
have you considered the 231 doubler? Its not very much to build and would work great w/ your pass drop axle and give you a great crawl ratio.
Robbie would have to move his rear axle way back in order to cram a doubler in there. I havent looked at his but on my jeep, I have a T11 or 12 and the t-case is attached directly to the tranny, with no adapter. I figured they did this to minimize length as the rear driveshaft is only like 20" long from the factory. Even though Robbie has a different tranny, I'd imagine the t-case is attached the same and the rear driveshaft is the same length. This doesnt leave even a little room for any extra length. While I'm sure he will end up stretching the wheelbase more some day, like all CJ5 jeepers do, jumping into two big projects like that at once wouldnt be a good idea.
yeah, but just one of those ideas, It will make my driveline short, but its why I plan to keep the jeep low and just cut the body, I mean its already dented
on a serious note, be really careful with those shims, i replaced two sets of those, they are very prone to cracking in half, i actually used to carry spares with me, one happend on engineer pass in colorado, my rear end passed me up, i knew i was in trouble.
Thanks Nick, I'll probably buy a set of spares like you said. After riding with that xj guy in clayton when he cracked both of his it's probably a good idea. I just remember being in the back seat with no doors and his rear axle smacking the fenderwells.
I still have a little bit of that bedliner stuff left over if you want it. I didn't realize it was so expensive, about $60 for the kit, but it's best to do it the right way the first time.
why not cut off and weld on new perches at the right degree?

the funny part about that is a few pages back on this thread. Everyone pulled out their e-wang and let it fly. It was neat!Quote:
