    BDS 4.5” long arm lift kit or Metalcloak 3.5” short arm?

    Check out JKS springs as well. If you like a stiff ride go with bilstein shocks, otherwise stay away from them. My black max and JKS shocks were night and day smoother than the bilsteins. Core4x4, Savvy ($$$), or rockjock for control arms.

    JL/JT Axle Swap Details

    Control arms ordered from wide open design to solidify placement and start burning in mounts. Measured for 14” ORI’s down travel to clear the opposite side wheel well. I’m quite happy with where I’m at with the 4 link. Need to clear the tub with upper’s a bit but otherwise it’s coming alinf

    Looking for TJ seat recommendations

    I’ve heard great things about mastercraft but could never get a hold of anyone there. Decided on PRP daily drivers, haven’t installed them yet but they appear well made.

    JL/JT Axle Swap Details

    Alright, here's what I got so far. I've been struggling hard to get the axle equal and lined up on all sides to start cycling the 4 link. But I decided to follow Ian's technique from his YouTube vid with securing the axle. As it sits, I am at about 6.5" stretch in the rear to keep the tires...

    Gotcha. Didn’t realize they offered that for the LJ. Looks like they do all 2” for the exception with a 1.75” for the front upper. Thanks for the info.

    What size diameter did your buddy go with for upper and lower control arms? Trying to get an idea before I purchase. TMRcustoms has a nice chart that states if vehicle under 5k, go with 2.25" lowers and 2" uppers but I think I can get away with going smaller. My TJ weighed 4200 before I pulled...

    I’ll look when I get home but my artec truss seems have enough room to remove/install the plug.

    Maybe you’ve said it @Rickstar321, but are you stretching further in the rear?

    I see in your JL brake post your not running hi steer. I think that’s where the frame notch will come into play for me. Did you get any stretch from the front on yours?

    Further along than I am. I got the tank and axle mocked up to see if I would get a full 7” stretch. Comes out to about 6.25”. Still tossing up the idea of going fuel cell but working with what I got for now.

    SOLD Barnett Dana 30 diff cover

    It didnt affect it. Only had about 4” of up travel so didn’t even come close.

    SOLD BMB Vanco 16” big brake kit

    Tearing apart the TJ and selling off items from it. Purchased in April 2023 and I would say they have about 10k on it. Jeep is not a daily driver. It is missing one of the backing plates for a brake pad but I’m sure Mr. Blaine could probably ship you some, and or just an all around new set of...
