Now you tell me... Congrats! any stretch?

Yes. Depending on your budget and equipment, up to 106". But installed as an upgrade, the wheel base can remain close to stock if desired.

This is the basic kit as it ships.

Here is aa photo montage of the work done on the YJ. This was only the suspension install, the rest of the work is being performed by the owner. The suspension fit up perfectly, in both the stock locations as it was designed, and in the final position to give a 104" wheeel base. There is some modification that has to be done to the mounts for the stretch version, but other than that, it's a perfect fit.

Started by removing all the old leaf spring suspension

And removing the axles

Had to move the air line ports on the axles so the trusses can be installed and have everything clear.
