So.. your saying Fox is not worth the money, or don’t put on back?

Actually the foxes are very good shocks, the damage, I think was due to a rock rolling up around between the tire and the shock, I will pull it this coming weekend and figure out the cause.

Installed a Currie Rear Trac Bar had to add an additional bend to it to align with the axle side bracket, then cycled everything.

The arrow points to where I added the extra bend.

When I pulled my wheels I noticed that the rock rings had developed quite the knife edge on them so I was going to bevel them with the router but all I could find was a laminate trimmer so I cleaned them up with that, at least they’re not sharp.

Looks great.
 
Looks good!!.. what did you use to bend it?
 
All those mods and you've been rocking a stock TB? Wow! Well done sir!
I’m running the Rubicon with @Alex01 and @Midnight LJR In late September, you’ve seen their rigs, so I’m forced to step up my game. I eyeballed the frame side spring perches for a good while too.
 
Finally fixed my E-brake that’s been busted since last years trip on the Rubicon. I was going to get a new bracket but decided to weld it and see if it holds up. I tacked it together then used a cutting wheel to remove half of the area where the shoes rest. Once that was welded I removed the tack and the other half of the parent metal Then welded that back up. I used the cut off wheel to shape the slot to fit the shoes. It should hold...🤞🏻

If you flip the backing plates and move the calipers side to side you're one step closer to an outboard 😉😝

Looks great.
