YJ to 4 link and coilover

I have been working for a few weeks to get this ready for the trail. Well Sunday was the test day and it worked very well!! Look at how level the YJ stays and watch the angle of the rear axle it is pretty cool.

I deserve some time to wheel it as is
The front will be coiled over this summer I will also add 2 more inches to the wheel base at that point getting me to 104".
For now I just plan to have fun!

I would guess I spent about $2000 in parts and materials. I supplied the laber with the help of my friends.
No plans I just did a lot of research and spent a lot of time on my back under the Jeep deciding what, where, and how.

Really nicely done! Alot of people don't appreciate how difficult it can be to balance out front and rear suspensions.. very good job on a badass YJ!

RayRay: I am headed to EDS for a weeks vacation and wheeling once I get home it is Get it done mode on wheeling. Once it gets hot I plan to do the front coilover. I will get plenty of time to enjoy the work and thanks for the comments.
brundx: That is the turn signal
BESRK: What is more rare is somone that can see how close this setup is in front to rear balance, thank you for your comments. I only hope when I coilover the front that I can get it as close as it is now.
Trailrated 1989: Swayaway coilovers if you mean the what brand the 2 coils are I would have to check
ImRaptor: Thanks for the comments but I do not think I will take your trade offer
