Hopefully they can make that glass jaw 6 spd. into a good useful transmission for you!
Does anyone have recommendations for a reputable fab shop that can help me with my suspension?
I mean, this is questionable, right?
I’m assuming they just struggled to find space on for coilovers on the stock width axles.

I’m in Pagosa, so west slope would be preferable. I’ve talked to a few local guys and don’t really feel like they’re that knowledgeable.
I took a risk on buying an LJR, that I still feel like was a good deal. I’ll be the first to admit, that I saw coilovers and figured the guy who built it obviously knew more than me so I shouldn’t question his reasoning.
The original owner passed away, and it had been sitting with a guy who was maintaining it every few months, but essentially hadn’t been driven. I’m going through it now and replacing the front end and other wear items as well as fluids, but I don’t know where to begin with the suspension.
I want to move to 37’s, the tires are going to need to be replace anyway. The axles have 35 spline chromoly shafts and it’s geared at 5.13. I know it’s not tons. It needs new tires, but I want to figure out my suspension first.
I have the option to put my old wheels and tires on this rig, which I really like the idea of, but would require an adapter. That could help me give a little more room to work with.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

@nathanaelward this is how to do it right .. and it's not the faint of heart.

If he wants 37’s might as well buy new, wider axles and solve several issues at once.
Dang...That lower mount is MESSED UP! I don't think you're going to find anyone who cares as much as you do though, so you may want to learn how to do this stuff yourself. 37's on a TJ (or LJ) is kinda where you need to learn to weld and fab a little, because its too much tire for factory running gear.
I can weld a little. By weld, I mean I can melt metal together.
This seems like not the right job to start with though. At least not without guidance from someone who really knows what’s up.

i forgot it’s after Easter, It’s always cool seeing the over built rigs getting trailed back after EJS. last year i saw the bilstein rigs.
