When I learn to fab (this summer) and have a decent income (that'll be awhile), this will be my first project. I hate my lack of space. Sometimes I regret not looking at LJ's (they are just ugly stock, beautiful lifted).

Just took off my front sway links, getting ready to put on my jks quick discos hopefully they get here tm😃

You can get those at most Box Stores, Home Depot,Lowes, etc. Tractor Supply if you have one close or an Ace Hardware. I've had mine from other projects as they are military grade from tanks,,lol. Those are Grade 8 bolts in case ya might want to know as I didn't put that in there. After welding on the washers, I cleaned them up on the wire wheel which made them silverish and Shiny,,LOL. Let me know also if you need me to give any measurements on them but I bet you can wing it.

Thank you for the help. I've been searching for a way to move my JKS discos outta the way. I found round ones at Ace!

Got just a little more done on my front bumper build


I need to buy some shackle mounts to weld on any ideas where to get some at the best price?

Careful. I had my sway bar links zip tied up like that. The whole sway bar swung down. My tire caught it and knocked it out of whack. Luckily it just spun the link at the bolt and didn't bend it, but I would suggest finding a way to support the whole bar.

And those poly bushings are gonna be hell on your mounts.

According to the instructions the long end goes towards the axle.

How are the poly bushings gonna be hell on the mounts? Please educate me as I am trying to learn as much as possible about Jeeps.

I am glad i took the 20 mins to do it... beats the crappy chrome.

Because poly bushings on hard arms don't allow flex, OEM arms flex?...

I took my carpet out to clean it, and I purchased some valve stem seals because mine need to be replaced!

Installed my new Trektop NX today. Kudos to TXST8tj for his excellent writeup. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/be...iteup-1300411/. I really enjoyed riding around with no top and doors, but mother nature would have caught up with me at some point. Nice looking top.
