Cliff that looks awsome !
Do you have a parts list/vendor of what it took for the stretch, also what are the plates in picture 4 for? Im going to have to add this mod to my XJ sure makes for a OEM look on the 35's

[xaza]

The plates are the top plate for perches. It has 3 holes for the leaf spring centering pin to set into to give it 1, 2 or 3 inches of adjustment. Instead of 2 u-bolts it uses 4 bolts to clamp axle to leaf spring.

looks good cliff.

Looking good man! I like the idea of shifting the fenders back like that; I think all I've seen before is slit and bend like mine.

Is there a problem with bump stops?

[xaza]

No problem with bump stops, I just prefer not to limit articulation. They are necessary sometimes though, I have 5-6" in the front to prevent tire rub.

Lloks good Cliff. Good work on the rusty's fenders.

2x' on the whats the wheel base going to be?

[xaza]

The shims were placed into springs to get my pinion angle where I wanted it. Aaron removed them and adjusted perches to accommodate. Wheel base should end up being 105-107 inches based on what setting is used. Thanks for the compliments, I am very pleased with how this is turning out.

Nice welding!! I'd have made swiss cheese if I'd tried that. even the grinder prep looks artsy.

Work is continuing along. Looks like he is starting on the cage now.

Overflowing with excitement as the tube bending process is beginning.
