Put the rear axle under the Jeep and located the lower shock mounts. The new axle is 61.75" wide, or a little over 1" wider than stock. My old wheels were 8" wide, 3.5" backspacing. New wheels are 9" wide, 4.5" backspacing. Net of all this is the tires move out 1/8" per side from the previous setup. It'll work fine for the 35s, but a 64" width would have been better.
I set the shocks for 1" of compression on the Currie bumpstops at full bump and 1/2" of compression when articulated.
For now I'm going to leave the rear antirock mounts for later. I put it in front of the axle a few years back. Under full articulation the tire gets close enough to the tub that there isn't room for the arm. Once the Jeeps drivable I'll move it behind the axle.
