I have to agree with the above comments on your soa setup. Not trying to hate but it is dangerous not only for you and you passengers, but others on the road around you. It doesn't matter if you only spent $50 on it, spend then money and do it safely or don't do it at all.

Do you work at Burger World with Beavis & Butt-head ?
Did you guys get drunk and decide to try an attempt at an SOA ?
That thing is straight up scary.
Stop your whining about hating and grow up and listen to the majority giving you excellent advice.
Enough with the" Haha!" , "I see", "I know" "I think"
Just listen!!!
We are not here to just hurt your feelings.
If you feel you worked hard, Then cool, Maybe you did.
Nobody is saying anything about your hard work!
Live and learn from your mistakes, And take the correct knowledge and do it right And do it safe!!!
If you feel your SOA is perfectly acceptable and nothing wrong with it,
I'd suggest to keep your pics and comments to yourself.
Thus you will stop getting the comments you don't like to hear.
And please stop giving anyone advise on how to do an SOA.
Your going to get someone killed!

Couldn't have said it any better. Your cheap a$$ lift blocks, welded or not, have a huge amount of leverage placed on them. You could be the greatest welder in the world and those welds will fail eventually. Lift blocks in the front are illegal for a reason.
A hack job just for 31" tires, which will fit on a stock CJ, makes no sense. You have added zero ground clearance and done little more than raise your center of gravity and instability. All the flex in the world isn't going to get those itty bitty tires over a large obstacle.

Wow, is all can say, I dare you to get going 60 mph and jam on the brakes and NOT break somthing. I give you respect for doing this yourself and I am the last person in the world to tell a person their wrong BUT you gotta listen to people and learn from their doing. There are many ways to do things but experience tells it best, these guys are trying to help you so dont get angry and stubborn and think your right, I as an amituer suspension guy can tell you that front axle WILL roll in those mounts with a good heavy stop, your welds can be perfect but that axle tube is only so thick and it will tear.
You have a decent Jeep, respect it and treat it right. lol just like a lady, somtimes its best to spend the money.

Sure, Some might see me as an a$$,
but that's better than everyone seeing you as a dumba$$.
This will be my last with you, as your too stubborn or dumb to listen at sound advice.
Many of us have mentioned your setup is unsafe & illegal.
I, nor anyone else has mention you spend every penny you can find on your Jeep.
Actually, I don't think the mention of money has even been brought up until you just now mentioned it!
Please enjoy the board, But at the same time, Have some respect to others safety and don't recommend your way of work.
Thank you, And I'll pray for every person your near or pass on the road.

To do that you have to keep it off the road around other people. HaHa
Sometimes it's better to keep somethings to youself and keep people guessing than to open your mouth/type and remove all doubt.
Stop being ignorant because it works for you at the moment. It's not a matter of if it will fail, but when.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I would personally like to apologize to the OP, this thread got SUPER hijacked. At least it stayed on topic and he did get some good advise on what to do as well as what not to do.
