Dear Ryan,

I was told by the owner of a well known jeep shop in CT that I cannot build a 4 link suspension that works well, my jeep is going to be too long, the axles are overkill, the drivetrain won't fit (it does) and I probably wont be able to drive it well because I don't qualify for a senior discount anywhere. Hopefully I can prove him wrong

Thanks for the encouragement,
Owen

I was told by a particular person that I cannot mention his name in vein in public, but I know who you are talking about, and I hate him too.

A couple more under the hood shots I finally uploaded:




While I have been waiting for my 4 link parts, I was able to source a better clearance oil pan. The old pan was from a 4wd s10, the new one is for a 2wd s10

Also while I have been waiting, I built my version of the spring perches I was talking about earlier in this thread
Start
TJ rear coils from Dana, some ~2.5" tube I had on the self


Add 1 Ballistic Coil Mount kit




Then I cut out the 3.5" dia retainer plate to keep the spring from dropping off of the mount when the axle droops. Drill 3 countersink holes and tap the corresponding holes in the mounts. Thread the center hole for the bumpstop. Done
