Frame reinforcement looks awesome!!! Are you contacting your bumpstop? Is your trackbar contacting the frame? If all dit will take to fit 39.5's is changing location of upper airspring mount, then no biggie. If you will have to re-engineer your link placement and/or link lengths maybe now would be a better time to tackle it since mounts are easily moved at this point. Then again, you still have a couple seasons of use left on those BFG's

Ya thats on the bump stop and the opposite is as far down as it will go. Nothing is hitting or making contact with hard parts. I have not solidified the upper air shock mount yet so I could factor that in and make it stop sooner. But I would need to commit and get the size I'm going to run.So I can mock it up

Link placement is not currently interfering as far as I can tell. I really want these. Anyone have a set they want to trade.

So that's what flex under the CJ looks like.

So as you can see I have been working on the jeep some. I picked up some parts at the swap me in excited about. And these followed me home. And I might have thrown the rears on to take a look.

Looks good but you need a bigger garage.

Next is shock hoops and steering. I have new steering shaft u joints coming in. Then I can made the steering shaft. Also the hydro assist stuff should be here this week then I can run the lines and mount the ram. I will send the shafts off to be resplined. I bought a really long chromo a few years ago and cut it down. Then cut down the stock ford long side shaft to the narrowed length. Then picked up a "cut to fit" chromo at the swap meet and cut it the other night too.
