Oh no doubt. Remember this engine is 2 cylinders shorter than what the engine bay is designed for so yes, you will have plenty of room to play with. Like I was saying, I put mine back to keep from having to do a lot of drivetrain modding!

Come on now...I want to see some pics of you doing something here in your build thread!

Oh, I know... Life sucks!! Kidney stones yesterday... Basement renos for a few more weeks. All I really want to do is to wreck the 1 ton, clean up the axles and get started with the control arm mounts.

Really, life is great but my hobby and number one focus is totally getting in way of more important and needy stuff. What a distraction these Jeeps can become.

I've decided to shop tonight instead of basement reno. I've found these arms with Johnny Joints and Currie brackets.


Currie Enterprises CJ Axle Parts

Are there any other makers for brackets other than these?

The arms seem to be an ok price but the brackets... any other makers out there?

Anyone know what the NAPA or GM part numbers are for these two different rear calipers?

I've just found mudb8's thread on highline fenders.

I'll be using 37's if the budget holds out and will try to go with less than 3.5" lift. Looks great.

I was just re-reading one of mudb8's threads and asked the above questions. What do you think Jasonm? :-)

Thoughts everyone??

[jeepsterjc]

Since I finished Mother's Day goodies I thought I'ld let my wife get me these







I should be tearing apart the F350 in the next couple of weeks... finally. I've ordered up the control arms a little early, but they are having supply troubles with the Johnny Joints and the back order time is about a month right now.

Now I really need to figure out what is going on with the coils... Grand Cherokee/CrownVic ... ???

Then 2 trackbars... What are strong and cheap??
