*Some more updates with pictures for proof*

I took Clean4drxj' s advice and order the dynomax exhaust from summit. Along with a small turn down and clamps i bought at a local store. The dynomax was half the price of the spintech. Its a serious turn down, im probably going to be cutting it about 2 inchs so it dosnt hit rocks when high centered.

Got the rear axle in long arms mounted and adjusted, pinion angle set. Just a few small odds and ends to finish up so hoping to have wheels touching the ground by christmas. Then i have to figure out the brake line situation.

Looks like it should workout well for you!

Finished up the lift install, only thing left is to Make up a new rear brake line.

The exhaust set up worked out ok. Its on the loud side but not that bad. I also got new lime green seat belts that i installed today. The jeep is sitting a little high in the picture because there is no spare tire or tool box in it.

Went to rausch this weekend for club comp, fun weekend covered alot of ground and tryed some harder trails than usual.

Carnage repot:

- Bent LCA mounts pretty good.
- Smashed my turn down pipe.
- Dented my windsheild header some more.
- Tore my soft top a little bit
- Snapped a U joint of drivers side (due to loosing 2 13mm bolts that hold the wheel bearing assembly on).

-Bent my steering even more, pretty much bent into a V. Im looking into the JCR OTK set up ? Any one running this setup? How hard is it to reame out the knuckles and pitman arm?

Got some good trails in tho i was able to do crawl daddy, devils den, cemetery , and trail 5 hill climb (almost lost it because the SWB).

[clean4drxj]

JCR is a good setup, reaming the knuckles isn't that bad the first 1 just go a little at a time and test fit a TRE when you get it where you need it slide the reamer back in and mark so the rest go much quicker!

[Bigbike]

do the WJ swap instead soo much better

[Schickos881]

With the wj swap dont you have to run differant wheel bearings? and what kind of steering would be used with those knuckles.
