    sweet, metal supermarket to the rescue.

    I've seen some housings like that jimmy, and noone ever shows what they do for oil seals.

    ryan, I can add coils later if I want, but for now stockish suspension is what I want.

    well I have not placed an order yet...

    I got to thinking and the only reason I picked 3.125 is because that is the ID of the inner knuckle. I think it might be a better idea to sleeve the last 2" of the tubing with some 3.25 or so (whatever is common and cheap), weld it, then turn it down to 3.125.

    its cheaper by 2 bucks a foot too and everybody stocks it.

    looks like a stock short side axle might work on this. if so, theres plenty left over to lop off a stock long side and respline. bonus.

    anyone w/ a kingpin 60 know how far the ujoint centerline sticks out past the tubing face?

    no, i dont know, but the kingpin has to run right through the u-joint center to keep it from binding. you have C's, no? measure it.

    maybe, the YJ that was parked across the street isnt there anymore to measure on, and the blue one is living on a farm for a little bit.

    If someone with a YJ could measure the front axles vertical centerline to pinion distance that would kickass.
