I had pretty good success putting them on the CJ. Ended up being a pretty long travel shock up front and you look to have a nice set of shocks to use.

I was considering it and I left the stock shock mounting points with intentions of plating them and then adding tabs for shocks but I gotta see if they will be tall enough.

Been working on mounting my shocks. I got the rears on using the factory locations and I'm in the process of making shock towers for the front. Tomorrow I'm gonna finish weld the front shock mounts and pull the transmission cross member and notch it for my front drive shaft. Pics tomorrow.

Excuse the tight stretched brakeline it was just temporary.

I pulled the cross member last night and will notch it and brace it today. Then lenghten my front shaft and put my front axle shafts back in and play around in 4wd for a change. :flipoff2:

Well I'm probably gonna just open it up with a grinder and cutoff wheel but I plan on going back and bracing it with some angle one day.

Braniks shit is pimp. There is a lot of debate about the effect of arms that clear hummer wheels on ackerman and steering geometry (not that its all that relevant for a trail rig) but it makes for an interesting read.
