Jeepspeed v. 2.0 has begun. FINALLY got around to doing my lower shock mounts so my Foxs dont keep gettin killed.
A tech thread if you will.
First started by Cutting off the old mounting perch.
I used Ruff Stuff Shock mounts that I had from my 8.8 swap kit and welded them up in place where I wanted them.
This is the passenger side but I did the same thing on the driver side. I used some 1/8 plate I had laying around and gave it some gussetting. This ties into not only the shock mount itself, but also the LCA mount so it strengthens the whole thing.
I used some shock bushing sleeves I had laying around to act as spacers in between the heims and the shock mount. Got some grade 8 hardware and tightened it all up. All painted and ready to go
and bam, done. The pics suck but you get the point.
97 TJ that I think is pretty neat.

get some.
At full flex, with the angle the mounts are at, are you worried about the shock getting bound up on the edge? If you can see what I'm trying to get across?2000 XJ: "The Black Jeep"MK2 Jetta > M3Chairman of the Chechnyan Space ProgramComment

I'm a fan of the shock mount's. I think I might try that.
What about the stock mount's was killing your shocks though?01 XJ 3" on 33's and some new paint n stuff. Gone.

probably a little too high up, it looks like he gained around an inch and a half of extra space by dropping them to where they are. If the Foxes are longer fo' droop, it'll keep em from bottoming out better.Originally posted by iant333 View Post2000 XJ: "The Black Jeep"MK2 Jetta > M3Chairman of the Chechnyan Space ProgramComment

I have done no testing yet but I did think about that as well and they SHOULD be ok.Originally posted by SwampAss View Postget some.

They were bottoming out all over the place. I didnt like shocks as bump stops. this should give me more up-travel and my prothanes will do their jobOriginally posted by iant333 View Post

oh and i FINALLY got somewhere with Rough Country and the UCA joints. They didnt send me new joints but they did send me rebuild kits. So I will be doing those on friday. I also noticed that my axle is tilted way to far forward so thats why my coils look sad. So when i put the joints back in, I will adjust that
