Got some good progress yesterday.

- Used stock tj sway bar links since they are ~3" longer than stock xj ones
- Cut up my rear shock mounts to move them up several inches so i can use the stock shocks.
- Made bar pin eliminators out of the rear sway bar mounts and just welded them to the unibody since the bolts broke off...
- Redrilled new holes for the front brake lines so stock lines will reach for now.
- Rearranged the rear leaf packs again gaining another inch in the rear but it was still low so I threw a block in there after cutting an inch off to make them 2"s.

how it sits now

Image

still need

-longer rear brake line
-to lenghten the lower control arms
-front shocks
-maybe lengthen the rear driveshaft or drop the crossmember an inch..
