Ball joints in and C's on.



Stock XJ steering may work to get it on the road. Upgrade will follow I am sure.



Replaced the yoke because the other one was damaged.





Got one axle ready for full C-clips.

Jared gave me a hand and we started mocking up the leafs after finishing the axle off.











Also finished of the stock size shackles to lower the rear after the spring over flip.



We had to move the front spring hanger back about 1.5"



I also replaced the u joints on the rear drive shaft that were squeaking.

I don't know how to respond to such a huge complement. Other than thank you. I have had a lot of help from lots of great people. Making the parts for me is easy but time consuming. The hard part has been planning ever thing prior to the big chop.
