Project "iron mule"

[das beef]

the tires in the pics are 38" tsl but im gonna run some 44" boggers.....just finish getting the front done minus the steering looks like the front is 2" higher than the back so im gonna have to flip the front spring mount on the rear....eehhhh no fun .. i could run a 2" block but it looks like the pinion angle would still be in a negetive position

For your steering - I have read elswhere on the Zone that for the flip, you can get new tie rod ends (or whatever they're called in this setup) that are larger than stock, along with a tool from NAPA to re-taper the other direction (and enlargen) the holes they go into. Did that make sense? I'm a little overtired.

i know when i did 1-ton steering on my XJ it came with a reamer direct from snap-on. if you don't find anything local, i know they have 'em.

NEED HELP!!!!!! on the front rear shackle flip.....i got the for bolt studs out and the big stud on the back torched out but i can't get the brakets to come off of the frame.. i don't see any welds on the brackets anywhere what am i missing??????? anyone?

[das beef]

GOT IT!!! p.s. this blows

[das beef]

so here are some pics of the front rear shackle flip... i torched one side no fun and i used a cut off wheel on the other, i suggest using the cut-off wheel. but the sucky part is after doing the flip and all the work i have in it i still 1" short in the rear.....guess i'll have to make some longer shackles or something but the pinion angle is back where it is supposed to be....
