I thought so looks like it should have no bump steer what so ever. It took you a lot of work but looks to me you got this puppy licked. Will be fun to see the Jeep go down the hammers.

It's looking really good Chuck, I can't wait to see the finished product!

Got the front in and fully mocked up. I ended up shortening the front lowers to 30” in order to get more triangulation. Ran out of wire for the welder again and will be going on 3rd 11lb spool. Shocks, hoops, and bump stops are all in. For the bump stops I went with the Fox 2.0” with 2.5” travel. With the o-ring on the shaft they are really 2.25” of travel. I have the bump stops set to bottom out with .5” still available on the shock. The only issues I see are that the driveshaft will still be really close to the frame and the heim on the pitman slightly binds at full droop on the passenger side. I think this will be an easy fix by twisting the arm a little to the passenger side.

Starting to get the feeling that progress is finally being made.

Yea, Yea. I got your sour milk. It's still coming along. Work has slowed me down a bit so I have only been able to work on it during the week. Trying to knock out some small stuff like brakelines and fuel system. I might actually have a day off this week to get back on the front.
