Rear crossmember cutting

[JMT]

Mine looks like the one with the slight bend (on the right in the pic). If I can get the other one it would move it forward, away from the crossmember. I have a JJ in that end. Is that easy to move over?

This looks like the alternate threaded end.

I don't remember how hard it was to move the bushing from one end to the other.
I can send you the other end to see if it works. I don't need a rear trackbar anymore.

Teamwork! I love this place.

Yeah baby! If I can ever get the trackbar situation resolved, I might drive over to Corvallis one day and have you cut and re-weld my upper rear perches.

Right now I kind of want to get this all done so I can get back on the road. I've got a Warn front stubby rock crawler bumper I need to re-work and install too, thanks to another forum member @jodomcfrodo (speaking of which, watched the end of the LOTR trilogy last night, reminds me of your username with Frodo in it).

BTW, this is a great idea. Nice find!

BTW I have a Barnes 4WD upper spring pad kit that I can't use. Would work great for this.

Yes.
I bought it hoping I could use it for my Jeep but with the air bags it won't.

Let me see where the bump is after the JKS bent thread end, then I will know more. I'm afraid this wont' help much, but if it does and I'm able to really go back, then that will throw the centering off the perches. Can't wait to go to Moab!
